Stitch Zakka is a gorgeous new book filled with designs and projects by some of today’s most popular designers. Some of the contributors in this book are Aussie designers including some of my favourites: Natalie Lymer, Leanne Beasley and Rosalie Quinlan. I absolutely love to stitch and this book has so many gorgeous projects that choosing the first one was difficult. Each project includes the pattern to print up, materials list and easy to follow, step by step instructions.Each stitch used in the project is listed, and at the back of the book, there are clear diagrams of each type of stitch. These diagrams are just perfect if you’re trying a ‘new-to-you’ stitch. I can honestly say, that I will be making a few things from this book. Sometimes I find that I buy a book or magazine because I like the look of a projects, but end up only making the one thing. Well, in Stitch Zakka, I already have about 6 projects on my to-do list.
