There is something extra special about the things that we have taken the
time to make by hand, carefully stitching them with patience and
originality. And with modern life having taken a nostalgic twist, many
of us have been left wishing we had paid more attention when our
grannies offered to teach us how to knit, crochet, embroider and sew.
But take heart, it is never too late to learn. Home Sewn Home teaches
you how to make a variety of practical handmade items to really make
your house a home. The book includes 20 simple sewing projects suitable
for beginners, along with a basic tools and techniques section carefully
outlining the fundamental skills and equipment required, as well as
offering advice on how to source the right materials to achieve an
authentic vintage feel. The projects are divided into four chapters
reflecting the key areas of the home - the living room, kitchen and
utility, bedroom, bathroom - and together they provide a delightful mix
of items that the whole family can enjoy. Projects include: jewellery
roll, bath cap, cushion, doorstop, laundry bag, pyjama case, eye mask,
shoe bag, pretty apron, padded coat hanger, butcher's apron, coffee
cozy, hairstyling bag, ironing board cover, oven gloves, plastic bag
keeper, peg bag, screen cover and wash bag.
