Issue 44

Debbie Shore started her career as a children's tv presenter, became an actress and needlecraft demonstor, and is now a bestselling author with a column in a popular magazine. Having been passionate about sewing for sewing for 50 years, I think we can safely say she knows a thing or two about it! Her latest sewing handbook is packed full of creative ideas for recycling left over pieces of cotton fabric into 30 pretty but practical hand and machine sewn projects that won't break the bank. The only rule is that each piece of fabric must be less than half a yard long (although some use several pieces in combination). Basic sewing techniques are explained at the start, and each project is accompanied byu step-by-step instructions and easy to follow photographs. Chapters are dedicated to the living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom and picinics. With ideas for storage, table decorations, kitchen accessories, gifts/accessoriesand picnic fare there's something for everyone inside.

If you sew you will invariably end up with lots of small pieces of fabric, some of which are quite large but seldom more than half a yard. Here is a whole book of projects for those leftovers so at last you can start to whittle down that teetering pile

I like the way you dont need much to make the items in this book, and if you sew you will already have everything you need a great start! The book is organized into rooms, and although the bathroom gets missed out the final room is outdoors in the shape of picnic time. The Contents page is illustrated with small pictures showing each project, a touch that makes it easy to choose exactly what you want to make. Decorate a tablecloth with yo yos, make cushions, mats, decorations, bunting, napkins and rings, boxes and baskets. If you have never done any sewing before this is not the best place to learn but you dont need much know-how to make these mostly simple pieces, nor do you need a lot of time as most are fairly small. Each project has staged instructions with both captions and photographs, as well as a list of what you need and a larger photo of the finished item. The author has mostly used pretty delicate pastels which give a cheerful summery appearance but which would be suitable for all year round. Many projects would make great gifts, if you could bear to part with them! A lovely and inspiring book to make your stash go further.
