Gift Focus, October/November issue

Corinne Lapierre is thrilled to have partnered with Search Press again to launch a new book of festive projects. This is her fifth title with the specialist craft publishers and further establishes her as a world leading expert in craft design. She is particularly skilled at presenting very clear illustrations, instructions and stitch guides, making her projects ideal for crafters of all abilities, even complete beginners. Festive Felt Decorations is therefore the ideal gift or self-purchase for anyone contemplating trying a new hobby. Decorations include hanging and table ornaments, cards and gift tags inspired by her lifelong love of folk Scandinavian art with its rich colours and distinctive patterns. Its quite amazing how many gorgeous handmade treasures can be made from simple felt and thread! A must for creating treasured family heirlooms and meaningful gifts, this book is sure to become another Corinne Lapierre best-selling title worldwide.


Booklist, October Issue

Working with felt is addictive. It's easy to cut, glue, sew, and stuff, and it's easy for any skill level from child to adult. Lapierre lays it all out, starting with lists of materials and seven embroidery stitch how-tos and proceeding to her 20 projects, each with a handy tip on how to embellish, change, or enhance the finished product. A house decorated for the season with these hanging ornaments, a penguin for the table, stuffed pixies on the mantle, or a robin wreath for the door would be an inviting place for friends and family. The book also includes half-size templates. One caveat for those who succumb to the seductive photos of minuscule gingerbread cottages and mistletoe ornaments on display here: you'll probably need to purchase felt in a much larger quantity than the tiny amounts needed for these projects, so plan to make a lot of them!


Amazon Customer Review

The instructions are clear and simple, the photos show exactly what to aim for and I love the extra tip offered for each project.

Theres quite a lot of embroidery involved in some of the makes, which could be a bit daunting if youre a stitch virgin like me. But again, clear, simple instructions are offered for the different stitches at the start of the book.

I did worry that the hardback format might mean it was difficult to keep the book open at the desired page without cracking the spine, but actually, this isnt a problem at all. The book stays open just fine.

Im looking forward to trying some of the projects!


Amazon Customer Review

This is a beautifully written craft book for felt embroidery. Very clear instructions. Easy for a beginner and experienced. The style is all top stitching with no seams to turn which makes for a quicker result. Also the stitch detail adds to the beauty and very rewarding. This book has more variety in projects. Hoop framed and box framed. Felt is so easy to cut no fray edges to worry about. 


Amazon Customer Review

Clear instructions, good photos, templates are clear. There are instructions on how to go to the free website to download them to your device. Really lovely decorations for Christmas or all year round!


Amazon Customer Review

Corinne Lapierre designs are absolutely charming a nice mix of Scandi, French, traditional, modern feels; beautifully, clearly photographed pictures, nicely displayed, and very inspiring so you could not only make the ornaments illustrated say, the robin wreath but also interchange bits and pieces and use them for your own inspiration say, make the robins into a garland (like the snowflake garland) or use them as parcel hangers.

Instructions are clear and unthreatening and warn you of possible tricky bits (of which there are very very few!) Helpful, too, that in the intro technique section she explains which felts are best to work with, as there can be a huge difference.
