Embroidery for Happiness by Yula

What makes you happiest? A bouquet of fresh flowers? A quiet street at sunset? A favorite meal, warm and waiting? In Yula’s Embroidery for Happiness, you’ll find all of these little joys (and more) stitched into sweet, colorful embroidery projects inspired by the beauty of everyday life.

Inside, you’ll discover dozens of delightful designs, from panels and framed pieces to practical, everyday items like cup sleeves, hat bands, drawstring pouches, and collars. There’s even a "sampler" — a collection of your favorite motifs for inspiration.

The entire book is written in Japanese but has tons of photos. We use a translation app (Google Translate) on our phones to help extract additional meaning from the translated words. We've written a tutorial for this here!

NOTE: All our “seconds” books are new books that sustained slight damage in transit. The damage is limited to the book’s spine, cover, or edges. Most typically, there is light crushing somewhere along the spine or edge, but there may also be scuff marks, or a minor tear or cut from an over-enthusiastic box cutter. The book is otherwise sound and clean.
