Enciklopedija ručnih radova

Judy Brittain’s Step-by-Step Encyclopaedia of Needlecraft brings together techniques for constructing, joining and decorating textiles. Suitable for beginners and more experienced makers, it combines practical explanations with drawings and photographs that clarify the sequence of each process.

The book covers knitting, crochet, knotted and woven work, embroidery, needlepoint, patchwork, quilting, appliqué and sewing. Across these areas, readers explore ways of working with yarn, thread, cord and fabric, moving from basic operations towards more intricate patterns and combinations.

Step-by-step guidance introduces tools, materials and working methods, allowing readers to compare the written instructions with visual examples. This makes the book useful both for learning an unfamiliar craft and for refreshing a particular stitch or decorative technique.

Its breadth allows it to serve as a foundation for independent learning, a reference during practical work and a source of ideas for personal projects. By presenting related textile crafts together, the encyclopedia encourages readers to explore their differences and combine traditional skills creatively.
