Fun with StitchingDid you
think embroidery was
complicated, confined to
flowers and a major
undertaking? This cute,
crazy and clever little
book will dispel those
myths and inspire you to
take up a needle and
thread even if it's for
the first time ever.
Fiona Goble is well
qualified to write this
book as she set herself
the task of producing a
little embroidery for
every day of the year for
her blog stitchaday. The
book is divided into
activities: eating,
sleeping, working,
relaxing, playing,
dressing, bathing and
celebrating and there are
four or five items and
motifs within each
section. The embroideries
are shown on items made
from plain cotton (calico
type), felt and wool
(think old cream blanket
type of wool). While all
the motifs are shown on
pale or very pale pastel
backgrounds, colour is
introduced in the form of
colourful fabric borders,
trimmings, etc. For
each motif, there is
also a tutorial on
creating your own
knitting patterns. About
the AuthorFiona Goble set
up a small textile
business making woollen
bags, cushions and
throws. She regularly
contributes to a number
of craft magazines and
partworks and is the
author of two
bestsellers, Fleecie

also published by New
Holland. She is currently

have to be scratchy hemp
skirts and brown
patchwork aprons - you
could be making beautiful
one-off pieces for
yourself and your home
from unique and unusual
eco-friendly recycled or
vintage fabrics. A whole

up, but they don't want

series of 20 stylish
sewing projects with a
focus on sourcing and
using sustainable
fabrics. The projects
teach different aspects
of sewing, starting with
making cushions from
recycled shirts, old
jumpers, vintage buttons
and other materials,
working through making
simple skirts and bags,
to using leather
applique, working with
vintage lace and peace
silk, using organic
fabrics for scarves and
shawls and even
'upcycling' an old suede
skirt or hat into
something new and
fabulous.About the

The Fabric SelectorThe
first section of this
book provides a
comprehensive overview of
the many different
natural and manmade
fibers and weaves,
including cottons,
linens, silks, and
wools. Each entry
provides a description of
the fabric's
characteristics,
possible combinations,
and special
considerations when using
the fabric on machines.
Also included are handy
icons that provide a
quick reference to the
suitability of that
fabric for certain
projects (i.e. clothes,
home furnishings,
upholstery, etc.), and
useful close-up shots of
each fabric. The second
section of the book
provides valuable
information on using the
fabric, discussing tools
to work with fabric and
notions for fabric. A
final resources section
includes sizing and
measurement charts as
well as website
resources. This book is
indispensable for the
sewing/craft room, and
the format is small
enough to throw into your
bag when you are heading
to the fabric store.

Simple Modern Sewing: 8
Basic Patterns to Create
25 Favorite Garments All
that is required to make
these twenty-five unique
designs are the eight
included basic templates
that show readers how to
fold and cut the fabric

of being easy to sew.
These twenty-five
patterns are all quick to

but are still stylish and
modern. Once these basics
are mastered, sewists
can utilize their
creativity to make each
piece unique by using
different fabrics or by
adding embellishments
such as a print lining or
contrast stitching. Both
beginner sewists looking
to make their own clothes
and advanced sewists who
want quick and simple
projects will love the
easy-to-make and wear
garments in Simple Modern

Making Cushion
CoversCushions are a
great way of brightening
up a room and giving it
your own personal touch.
They can be luxuriously
decadent or homely and
comforting; inject colour
and fun into your life,
or be soft and seductive.
Whatever your style,
Debbie Shore has a
cushion cover that is
perfect for you. In this
sumptuous book, there
are twenty-six gorgeous
designs to choose from,

instructions. Debbie's
designs have a fresh,
contemporary appeal, and
you will be amazed at how
easy they are to make.
And you don't have to
spend a fortune either.
You can achieve a
designer look at a
fraction of the price
you'd pay in the shops,
and with her firm belief
in recycling, Debbie has
incorporated children's
old clothes,
grown-out-of jeans,
pretty dress fabric,
unused table-cloths or
even last year's bedding
into many of her designs.
Be inspired - add your
own flair and
individuality to the
cushion covers you make
and, before you know it,
you will be designing
cushions of your own!
