Overview

Stunning photographs, colorful contemporary design, and step-by-step pictures accompany a treasure trove of fabulous simple projects for stitchers to get their needles into. The 41 sewing projects—from a drawstring wash bag to a knitting-needle case—are designed to be made with Cath Kidston's popular printed fabrics. All the sewing techniques are clearly explained in an introductory section so that even an absolute beginner is sure to succeed. Details on how to embroider, appliqué, and adorn items in other ways are included, as is a large pattern sheet with cut-out templates. As an inspirational kick-start, Cath provides with the book a length of a unique fabric specially printed for this edition, together with handles, a label, and a button to make into a bag.
