Home-sewn

Norwegian title: Hjemmesydd

Do you have a sewing machine standing idle? Get to know it, and do easy sewing with beautiful fabrics! All the ideas in Trine Bakke's new book have step-by-step illustrations. You can begin with the easy things and progress gradually. Teach yourself to sew cushions, netting, wine-carton coolers, Christmas stockings, patchwork quilts, iPad covers, spectacle cases, key rings and much more besides.

There are four parts to the book, following a natural progression: For those who want to play with fabric; For those who want to sew something easy and neat; For those who want to learn to sew patches; For those who already do quilting. Hjemmesydd has a playful and informal approach to the subject. You will find cheerful fabrics, simple designs and, hopefully, few careless stitches. The patchwork sewing is mostly based on squares.

This is easy sewing made exciting by the choices of fabric and colour.
