Sew Quick, Sew Cute: 30 Simple, Speedy Projects - Tapa blanda

When Fiona Goble started out teaching sewing, she was surprised by how many novice sewers had been thinking about learning for years. What put them off? The idea that sewing anything worthwhile would take ages. Sew Quick, Sew Cute does away with the idea that sewing cant offer speedy, cute results. Timeframes vary from under an hour to a whole weekend, but there are plenty of ideas in the 30 on offer that will fit a spare afternoon, and how-tos are given in easily absorbed illustrated steps. Projects are divided into home, personal, and kids stuff, and theres plenty of scope for you to showcase a special fabric even when you dont have much of it. From toys to totes, and pillows to pincushions, youll be amazed at what you can make (and how good it will look), however time-poor you are.
