Publisher Synopsis
Grab the bag of fabric scraps along with this book for a wealth of ideas for embellishing handmade items with applique and trims to add that truly personal touch. A full size paper pattern and 20 stylish projects are included for fashion and home decor items that combine hand and machine stitching. Grouped into three sections, the book includes cushions and quilts for the home, bags and garments for Mum plus gifts and nursery items for babies and children. After a useful introductory section on tools and equipment, the book progresses to the projects complete with step-by-step instructions, diagrams, templates and lots of additional tips. A number of different applique techniques are used and the author includes a chapter on several popular methods including raw edge, turned-edge and reverse applique. Many of the projects are stitched by machine and embellished with hand embroidery and a library of stitches is also given.-Sewing World Taking applique into clothing, Sew Liberated is all about fabric collage. The idea is for those with some sewing experience to break away from the constraints of sewing patterns and create personal designs. As you'd expect from an author who is also a sewing pattern designer, the 25 projects are modern and stylish - ranging from aprons, skirts and pillows to bags, a clock, blouse, and scarf among others. Suitable for beginners, Pattern included.-Embroidery Read more...
