About this ebook
Gift - giving is even more fun if you make it yourself!
You do not have to wait for a special occasion to do something nice for a friend, nor do you have to give a big present to bring a smile to someone's face. Giving a hand-made gift is a great way of letting special friends know how much they mean to you.
So, why not get out your sewing machine and make someone a very personal gift from some fabric and thread? For example, a handy cosmetic bag for your best friend, a decorative book cover for someone who loves reading, a pretty flowerpot cover, comfy cushions or a selection of uniquely personal fashionable accessories. If you have a bit of leftover fabric at home, you can even start straight away!
Each item is illustrated by a stunning photograph and accompanied by a list of materials required and detailed step-by-step instructions. Separate pattern sheets can be downloaded for all the gifts described in this book and includes very easy-to-follow instructions.
