Description

Create 30 beautiful and useful projects with this essential guide to machine sewing. As well as being an invaluable skill and a relaxing hobby, machine sewing is a great way of being kind to the planet by upcycling scraps of fabric. Here, expert sewing teacher Angela Pressley shows you how to make 30 stunning accessories, garments, and home furnishings, each of which will help you to practice different techniques. Master topstitching, quilting, and patchwork so that you can create items for the home including a pouffe, mug cozies, and plant-pot covers. Learn how to sew curves, add pockets, and work with lightweight fabrics as you make accessories such as a bucket hat, a reversible tote, and a foldaway shopper. Finally, there’s a chapter of clothes such as a tailor-made top, a drawstring skirt, and a duster jacket, where you’ll learn how to create an elasticated hem, draft a paper pattern, and sew buttonholes. You’ll also find advice on all the tools and equipment you will need, as well as step-by-step tutorials that guide you through the machine- sewing techniques. Read more

  • easy to understand, helpful illustrations
Format: Paperback
This book is giving me the inspiration I need to dust off my grandmothers sewing machine and get back to sewing. There is a great variety of projects: garments, bags, interesting things for the house (the plant pot covers are unexpected and look especially nice!). I really like how most of the projects are quite flexible and there are easy instructions for how to adapt (like for the seat covers and the pillow). I also really appreciate the how-to "workshop" section at the end... instead of having those key skills buried within the instructions, it makes much more sense to have this handy reference at the end. The "workshop" section had the clearest explanation for how to put in zippers in that I have seen (for some reason that has always seemed very difficult to me!!). ... show more
