"Cath Kidston's new book is not to be missed for pretty things to make on long winter evenings." - Easy Living, November 2009

Product Description
Sewing is the new shopping. In these cash-strapped times it's more fun to get together with friends and stitch something handmade and special, whether for yourself or a friend, than to go out and spend that hard-earned money - plus to be given a gift that someone has created and spent time making is always heart-warming. Following the huge success of last year's MAKE!, Cath Kidston has now put together a treasure trove of fabulous simple projects for stitchers to get their needles into - bags, clothes, soft toys and many more - and all designed to be made with her popular printed fabrics. As an inspirational kick-start, Cath is giving away with the book a length of a unique fabric specially printed for the book, together with handles, a label and button to make up into a bag. The book itself is packed with 41 projects with full instructions to make a range of fun and useful things, from a drawstring washbag to a knitting needle case. All the sewing techniques are clearly explained in an introductory section so that even an absolute beginner can be sure of success, together with details of how to embroider, applique and adorn your items in other ways. Stunning photographs, colourful contemporary design and step-by-step pictures make everything absolutely clear and user-friendly. The book also contains a large pattern sheet with cut-out templates.

Nice projects but much more visual instructions needed,
By
This review is from: Sew! (Paperback)
This book is full of lovely sewing projects, but the actual instructions for the slightly more complex projects leave a lot to be desired. I'm a fairly experienced sewer but I have absolutely no idea how to put together, to give but one example, the patchwork knitting bag - many of the instructions are meaningless without some sort of visual aids. Many people find it much easier to follow visual instructions for craft projects rather than complicated written descriptions and I wish Kidston had included more diagrams and less pretty pictures of vintage quilts. I'd like to make that knitting bag but if I do try it I suspect I'll just have to work out how to do it from the picture of the finished project rather than the frankly bewildering guide.

It's okay but not for beginners,
By Q.P "Q" (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sew! (Paperback)
There are some nice ideas in this book but if you're a beginner like me this book is not for you. The terms are not explained(no glossary) and there are barely any diagrams to show you what to do, so half of the time I wasn't even sure if I was doing it right until the end. I was pulled in by the reviews and faced the consequence of finfding out this book is not for beginners.

Sew great!,

This review is from: Sew! (Paperback)
Fantastic. The book contains everything to make the bag on the front and I had it made in the evening! A bargin in itself. I am thrilled with it. The patterns are all very simple and easy to follow, although i have had to think about how much fabric I need the patterns use every last scrap. I have made the egg cosy and large tote too. I would certianly buy this for anyone who loves to make stuff and /or loves Cath Kidston. I can see myself going back and making more of the bags etc for presents in the future and i am already getting fabrics together for the quilt! If you love sewing but are never too sure where to start (like me!) this is so easy and you get a fantastic finished product.
