Expert crafter and lover of Scandinavian design Clare Youngs
presents a stunning collection of home wares, gifts, accessories, bags,
clothes and more to stitch. Fans of the clean, elegant lines of
traditional Scandinavian style are sure to be inspired by the 35 sewing
projects in this book. Incorporating the finest elements of Scandinavian
crafting traditions, inspiration is taken from a range of backgrounds
including classic folk art and local needlework, as well as more
contemporary sources. These delightful designs, each with clear
step-by-step instructions and beautiful photography, will have you
itching to get stitching. Working with a wide variety of fabrics, there
are adorable fleece and felt baby booties finished with French knots to
make, or use classic gingham or stripes to put together an apron, coat
hanger cover and laundry bag. Also included in this title are ideas for
projects using recycled materials, plus ways to use up the scraps in
your sewing box. A range of techniques are explored as well, including
applique for a cushion cover, cross-stitched bed linen, patchwork for a
quilt, embroidery on Christmas decorations and more. Simplicity is
always at the heart of Clare's designs, and the clear instructions and
step-by-step artworks mean anyone can have a go, and will be surprised
how quickly beautiful pieces can be made. There's also a how-to section
that explains any stitch, knot and join you might need.
