All of the projects use just half a yard (about half a metre) of fabric, making them ideal for using up scraps and oddments left over from other projects or sold off cheaply by your favorite fabric store.

There are 26 to choose from, including beautiful bags, aprons, a craft caddy for storing your making kit, padded coat hangers, a chicken doorstop, a handy wash bag, a notice board and numerous other gifts and accessories for you, your family and your home. All you need is a sewing machine and a basic sewing kit, and in no time at all you'll be making one of the gorgeous projects in the book. Debbie Shore has a passion for sewing, and her fresh, contemporary designs coupled with simple, easy-to-follow instructions make this book a recipe for success
Great start: Good for all levels C Smitty This review is based on a REPRINT that is due for release in April 2014.This book encourages sewers to use their scraps and/or left over fabric.The introduction suggests the best fabrics to use. There's also a page titled "Useful things" that gives a general overview/definition of sewing terms.There's also a couple of pages devoted to hand stitching in the "Before you start" section.The projects are practical.

The images, as you would expect, are very clear and bright and the instructions are perfect for sewers of all abilities. Large step-by-step instruction photos make it very easy to follow and increase the production values of the book. The projects that stand out to me are the slippers, the child's apron, the owl and the pussycat stuffed toys, the chicken doorstop and the padded coat hanger.If you would like to read more of this review click here for the link to threadcarefully:threadcarefully.wordpre
