Botanical Embroidery by Yula

This is the first collection of embroidery work by yula, an artist known for her soft color palettes and richly textured, dimensional floral stitching. The projects feel gentle and expressive, with embroidered flowers that appear almost fluffy—bringing a sense of charm to everyday objects.

The book focuses on a thoughtfully edited set of items, including drawstring bags, handbags, embroidery hoops, brooches, and small accessories. By changing stitch patterns and color combinations, each design can be easily adapted, encouraging makers to explore their own variations rather than follow a single fixed outcome.

Yula studied fashion before working as a designer for an apparel company. After marriage, she began creating handmade pieces as a personal practice, eventually turning her focus fully to embroidery. In 2016, she began sharing her work on Instagram, where her distinctive style—marked by careful detail and vivid yet balanced color—quickly resonated with a wide audience.

This book reflects that sensibility: botanical motifs rendered with care, clarity, and an eye for texture, making it especially appealing to embroiderers who enjoy floral work with a modern, illustrative feel.
