Crafty wedding at Search Press
We at RotoVision were delighted to hear that Marianne, a designer at one of our co-publishers Search Press, had recently got engaged. However, we were even more excited to hear about Marianne’s project to craft her way to a beautiful and unique summer wedding.
Everyone in the Search Press office has been watching Marianne in amazement as she spends her breaks carefully crafting everything from decorations to wedding favours. So far she’s managed to amass over 300 paper flowers, including some stunning bright pink gerberas and bunches of dahlias, 100 wedding favour candles and 300 metres of gorgeous fabric bunting.
We think it’s a fab idea and can’t help but admire Marianne’s dedication and meticulous attention to detail in making these stunning creations. It’s great to see more people getting creative and embracing crafting as a way of making their big day a bit more personal. Not to mention how lovely it is to see such gorgeous, bright summery colours when it’s seems like it’s all been rather grey recently! We’re definitely going to be regularly checking their Facebook page to see how she’s getting on and to have a look at her new ideas.
The RotoVision team is delighted to announce that our newly released title Mastering the Art of Embroidery has made it onto Amazon’s Best Books of the Month list for Crafts, Hobbies, and Home! With only 10 books selected in this category we are extremely proud to have been included on the list, and it seems like a fitting and well-deserved reward for all the blood, sweat and tears that went into producing this highly comprehensive and stunningly beautiful book (though we do say so ourselves).
Anyone with even half an eye on the craft world will know that embroidery is huge right now, and Mastering the Art of Embroidery offers an appealingly refreshing take on this traditional craft, covering everything from blackwork to bargello and featuring illustrated step-by-step tutorials, inspirational galleries of beautiful work, and engaging profiles of contemporary practitioners. It may still be early days yet but we’re willing to bet that Mastering the Art of Embroidery will soon become an indispensable go-to guide for a whole new generation of enthusiastic embroiderers!
For those of you who are itching to get your hands on a copy, the book is available from Chronicle Books in America, and from Jacqui Small in the UK (click on the links below to be directed to the relevant Amazon pages). We’ve also included a sneak peak at some of the spreads from the book to whet your appetites even further…
That this post comes a mere 7 weeks into the new year gives you a very good idea of just how busy 2013 has been keeping us. But I just had to break radio silence to share this exciting book with you, not least because it’s already getting some great press and it’s barely been out a month!
From the creative desk of Lewes based Gerry Warner comes this fantastic resource for knitters. Unlike the books that simply provide patterns for knitting vintage styled clothes, Knit Back In Time reveals two crucial secrets about knitting vintage styled outfits; how to update any vintage pattern to suit modern sizes and yarns; and how to customize modern patterns to take on a vintage look. So, whether you want to adapt a 1940s pattern for a not-so-1940s silhouette, or add in some puffed sleeves and a peter-pan collar to your latest project, this book gives you all you need to know to adapt clothes to your vintage style.
Published by Interweave in the US and Search Press in the UK, here’s a sneak peek of some visuals. I’m also sharing some of the great reviews the book’s had so far!

And finally, because she is just that nice, Gerry’s shared (with permission, of course) the pattern for the Bestway Tea Time jumper that appears all through the book, so head on over to her blog if you want to try out your own adaptation!
