Stitch

This book brings together more than 25 sewing projects for makers who care about how their work looks. The designs are contemporary, many can be adapted to suit the person making them, and fabric is treated as a source of inspiration throughout.

The book also covers the basic techniques of sewing. Every project can be made on a sewing machine or entirely by hand, which simply takes a little longer, and none rely on overly complicated methods. Each project is photographed, and where a step is more intricate, sequences of step-by-step images accompany the written instructions.

The projects range from reusable fabric bowl covers, pot holders and scrunchies made from fabric offcuts to ways of upcycling old bed linen and using up scraps left over from other designs in the book. The guide is suited to beginners as well as intermediate sewers.
