What Is 100 Neesan®? Coloring-Book-Style Embroidery for Beginners
共有
What Kind of Item Is “100 Neesan®”?
COSMO®’s popular series “100 Neesan®” is, in a word, “fabric like a coloring book.” Look closely at the cloth and you will see many characters, each with different clothing and expressions. With the concept of “100 people, 100 ways of making,” you can use thread and stitches to give each character your own styling.
Learn Embroidery Basics with a Coloring-Book Feel
100 Neesan® is a series especially recommended for those new to embroidery. You stitch hairstyles, clothes, and shoes onto the girls printed on the fabric with a dress-up feeling—and while enjoying it like coloring, you naturally pick up basic embroidery stitches.
Because there is an outline to follow, you never get stuck wondering “what should I stitch?”—another welcome point that makes it easy to start. Change colors, add patterns, and stitch as cute and freely as you like. There is no fixed “right answer,” so you can simply enjoy experimenting.
Tool choice and basic stitches are also covered in The Complete COSMO® Beginner’s Guide to Embroidery.
A Rich Lineup You Can Choose to Match Your Project
The foundation is pre-cut fabric printed with the girls. You can choose by fabric color (white, pale gray, linen, and more), pattern, and size, and there is also “100 Neesan® with Niisan,” which includes boys and pets.
When you are unsure about color combinations, dedicated thread sets grouped by themes such as Nordic or feminine are convenient. There are also ready-to-use embroidery kits—pre-sewn pouches, mini totes, drawstring bags, charms, and more—that you can embroider and use as-is.
For beginners, a compact trial materials set and a style book packed with styling examples are also recommended.
Pre-cut fabric, thread sets, and embroidery kits are gathered in the 100 Neesan® collection.
Find Your Own “Neesan”
The charm of 100 Neesan® is that there is no fixed finished form. From the same fabric, as many different pieces are born as there are makers. First pick a favorite sheet, and try styling a Neesan that is yours alone.
