Отрывок из книги

It’s easy to be enticed by the fabulous array of cotton fabrics available today for sewing projects. This book shows you how to turn these fabrics into beautiful home accessories, whether you plan to keep them for yourself or give them as presents. All the projects in this book use small amounts of fabric, so if you already have a glorious stash, you’ll find lots of ways to use it! Don’t be nervous about mixing prints—it’s a great way to use up small pieces of fabric and to give your creations a quirky touch. If you want to use coordinating fabrics, buying a set of fat quarters is a great way of making sure that your fabrics will go well together. Fat quarters are sets of rectangular fabric pieces about 22" x 18" (56 x 45cm) in size. They provide a handy amount of fabric for sewing many small home accessories.

In this book, you will find projects for those new to sewing and for the accomplished sewer. Many projects incorporate techniques that you may not have tried before, such as embroidery or quilting, so it’s an ideal way learn something new or to incorporate a familiar, favorite technique. Basic sewing techniques are explained concisely at the beginning of the book, and each project has clear instructions and step-by-step photography to guide you and give you confidence as you work. Even if you are already an experienced sewer, there are lots of innovative ideas and suggestions included here that will inspire you to create projects with your own flair. Enjoy filling your home with this variety of home accessories!
