SEWISTS: DIY Projects From 20 Top Designer-Makers

Includes a CD with templates, we take a rare look into the sewing rooms of sewing stars and creative crafters. Their contributions include a beautiful hand-bound notebook, a cat doll, sewn greetings card, doodle clutch purse, bee appliqué cushion, screen printed Mexican-inspired apron, cameo brooch, circus wall decoration, pleated headband, patchwork coasters and simple zip pouch among the 20 projects explained in step-by-step instructions with details of materials and how to achieve a consistently professional look using the General Knowledge fact boxes. 'The beeswax will help to prevent the paper from tearing, but be sure not to pull the thread too hard. While sewing, keep the ribbon taut - this will help to maintain the structure and firmness of the book block.' From screen print and bookbinding, to dressmaking, felt craft and embroidery, Josephine Perry has interviewed all 19 sewists about their work. She gives step-by-step instructions and the CD contains all the templates and patterns. Large softback, 144pp, 19 x 24.8cm.
