A little of what you fancy…
9781446306307 013Sometimes I find I am in the mood to sew but don’t want to work on a big project. It’s great, every now and then, to start and finish a project before you even need a break. Mini projects such as the ones in this book are perfect as handmade gifts and all useful sewing accessories that you can just make for yourself. There is somewhere to keep your pins, and your needles, somewhere to hang up all your inspiration, a place to keep your notes and designs, storage for your bits and bobs and even somewhere to put your cup down.
The fabrics used are designed by me and are from my fourth collection for Makower, which is called Radiance. This is a collection that took its inspiration from antique lace and trimmings. You will be able to buy it in shops or online if you would like to use the same ones or there are a variety of pre-cut fabric sizes that would be ideal for many of the projects.
Each project uses patchwork or quilting or both, and ranges in difficulty from beginner to advanced. There are a variety of techniques throughout the projects, from basic patchwork, paper piecing, quilting, sewing darts, making binding and hand sewing. Each is in small doses so nothing will be too
