Figures have been an important feature of stumpwork for hundreds of years, and in this book we explain in detail how to make all of the components of a figure - limbs, head, face, hair, body shape and clothes - as well as providing clear, step-by-step instructions for all of the needlelace and embroidery techniques you need to make clothing and to add details and embellishments to your designs.

Numerous full-colour diagrams and photographs are included throughout the book, and the three projects allow even those with no experience of stumpwork to create beautiful embroideries of their own.
