We’re delighted to announce the publication of ‘Stitch Tokyo’ by embroiderer Yumi Hoops @yumi_hoops

In ‘Stitch Tokyo’, embroidery artist Yumi Hoops shows you how to create Japanese-inspired embroidered masterpieces, explaining the techniques and methods that can help to transform your embroidery into unique works of art. This book contains 15 charming projects, each accompanied by easy-to-follow explanations of the materials, tools, stitches and processes involved.

Author Yumi Hoops says “I wrote 'Stitch Tokyo' to bring embroidery closer to people who love Japan and crafts. I wanted to offer fun projects, like a Taiyaki pincushion or a vending machine with lights.”

Editor Bella MacConnol says “We are so excited to be publishing ‘Stitch Tokyo’ – it’s such a fun and colourful book that is packed full of ideas and inspiration. It’s a real celebration of some of the most-loved elements of Japanese culture, from the delicious food to the streets of Tokyo and even a beautiful koi pond!”

‘Stitch Tokyo’ is available to pre-order now via the link in our bio. Available from all good bookshops form 5 March 2026.
