All Sewn Up brings you 35 colourful and unique crafty ideas, using a wide variety of sewing techniques - from embellishment and adornment to freehand embroidery - that are forward thinking but still inspired by vintage style.
Make something fun for the kitchen - pretty placemats, or an apron for the cook. If you like animals, make George the giraffe, or an owl pillow, decorated with pretty stitches. Gifts to sew include a raindrops and rainbows mini quilt that friends will love to receive. If you adore long lie-ins then sew the sleepy head pillow with applique embellishments, or a Holly Golightly-inspired eyemask. Last but not least, there are murals and hangings to add a splash of colour to your home.
Each project comes with step-by-step instructions and adorable artworks by Gemma Correll - so just grab a needle and thread and get down to some seriously creative crafting.
