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 Make!, Cath Kidston has now put together a treasure trove of fabulous simple sewing projects for stitchers to get their needles into. Included in this fantastic book are full instructions for over 40 fun and useful projects - bags, cushions, quilts and many more ideas - which are all designed to be made with her popular printed fabrics. All the sewing techniques featured 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. This brilliant little book has stunning photographs, a colourful contemporary design and step-by-step illustrations to make all the projects absolutely clear and user-friendly. The package also contains a pattern sheet, templates and an exclusive Cath Kidston Needlecase.

I haven't done any sewing since i did it in school but over the past year I have learnt to knit. I have done it using you tube videos and patterns from magazines. As for techniques and tips books have never helped me, I have always needed visual help. I got this book as i wanted to learn more about sewing and thought it may help me to sew knitted pieces together.
I got this book and it is very clear and easy to follow would recommend to anyone wanting to learn or recap on old skills its brill I wish there was another one.

I managed to flick through almost every page of this in Smiths and came out thinking 'I must have that book'.
The essential message it communicates is:
'don't just sit there, go on, have a go, its not that difficult'.
The really neat thing about this book is it comes with a huge sheet of actual size printed patterns that you can trace over with greaseproof baking paper!
I have just finished making the Knitting Needle Case and it turned out so well, I plan to make 3 more and sell them on Etsy.
P.S. I have just finished making the Knitting Needle Case from this book and it turned out perfectly. I love this author so much !!

This was a very interesting book with many projects in. I found it more useful for basic sewing projects, but the ideas and instructions were excellent.
