Product Description
Celebrated designer, Amy Butler brings her fresh, modern style to the timeless craft of sewing. In this lavishly illustrated collection of patterns, she presents 24 charming projects ranging from cushy floor cushions to smart aprons to stylish handbags. Stylish photographs inspire while how-to illustrations and straightforward text (minus the confusing sewing lingo) make it a cinch to achieve beautifully finished projects. In addition, Amy offers thoughtful tips on finding and treating new or vintage fabrics, an easy-to-navigate techniques section, and a glossary and resource guide at back. Whether it's chic placemats and napkins for the kitchen, a luxurious kimono-style robe for the bath, or handy organizer baskets for the home office, Amy Butler's "In Stitches" makes it easy to create beautiful accessories for every room and every mood.

If you love sewing, you will love this book by Amy Butler. The book is divided by room so you get sewing projects for each room and there are also some fashion items to sew. The instructions are clear and easy, the book comes with an envelop full of patterns ready to use straight away. The list of projects are: decorative patchwork throw, floor cushions, kitty tunnel, big dot pillow, round ruffle pillow, pom pom pillow, placemats and napkins, giftable recipe card bags, apron, square pot holder, patchworks duvet cover, bedside organiser, lounge trouser, sleeping mask, kimono style bathrobe, hanging toiletry basket, laundry bag, hanging towel, CD holder, desktop organizer, document duvet and photo file, fashion checkbook clutch, clutch handbag with fabric flower, scarf with beaded fringe, leather handled shoulder bag, patchwork handbag with zipper charm. Amy butler patterns are usually for sale for about £8 each in UK so this book is a bargain as it comes with so many projects and several patterns.

LOvely book with beautiful photos. Just don't bother buying this AND
Sew-it Kit by Amy Butler as most of the projects in the Sew-it kit are also in the book.
A range of project ideas although can't see me making them all just because I don't need fabric embellished towels or a laundry bag etc.
Beautiful Butler fabric.

I bought Amy Butler's In Stitches together with Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing, I was immediately struck by the similarity between the books and their projects. I have to agree with some other reviewers in saying the books scored more on style than content. I was disappointed to find I had to draft many of the projects myself as there was no pattern, this adds so much more time to a project. The projects themselves were either ridiculously simple and needed no instruction, ie hem a piece of cloth and call it a tea towel, or were fiddly and lacking clear instructions, some were just plain pointless, the Giftable Recipe Card Bags, and the Document Duvet for instance. To finish on a more positive note some of the patterns look useful and having spent all that money my pride will ensure I make some of them up.

Nice to look at - some patterns are just not practical
I love the photography in this book and read it often.
However, some of the patterns require a silly amount of fabric making the end product extremely expensive. Read more
