Praise for Fabric Paper Thread
"Sutcliffe's first book is an approachable set of projects, mostly embroidery-based...Her aesthetic is charming: simple, often patterned, designs with easy-to-stitch lines, with just enough trendiness to appeal.... This book is a lovely gift to the supervised young crafter." - Publishers Weekly
"All of the projects are cool and fun, and appeal to anyone. Though most of the pictures have girls doing the projects, the projects aren't girly and my son didn't consider any of the projects "off limits" for a boy.... Fabric Paper Threadis full of ideas. Many of these projects will make great road trip and vacation projects, and I'm looking forward to trying them out with my kids." -Sew A Straight Line
