Transfer & Stitch: Butterflies, Bees & Bugs

Over 50 reusable motifs to iron on and embroider by Sally McCollin

32 pages of unique butterfly, bee and bug designs that can be transferred to fabric and stitched.

This latest addition to the Transfer & Stitch series covers a huge range of designs of butterflies, bees and an assortment of bugs, to be embroidered onto clothing or home furnishings for a unique, quirky finish.

Designs range from traditional, life-like insects to edgy modern steampunk designs. These intricate motifs can be rendered in metallic or variegated threads to give them a colourful, insect-like sheen.

There are over fifty designs to choose from, starting from tiny ladybirds up to larger-scale grasshoppers, and each one comes with an iron-on transfer that can be applied directly to fabric.
