Arranged into five chapters, the projects use a wide variety of fabrics: there are adorable fleece and felt baby bootees finished with French knots, a classic gingham tie-back for drapes, and a striped machine-embroidered apron. Progress through the projects and learn a wide range of sewing techniques, including appliqué, cut work, patchwork, decorative machine stitching, shadow work, and ribbon work. Simple stitches such as herringbone, cross stitch, French knots, and daisy stitch are also used to great effect. Simplicity is at the heart of Clare's designs, and the clear instructions and step-by-step artworks mean anyone can have a go. You will be surprised how quickly beautiful pieces can be made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClare Youngs studied graphic design and has worked in packaging design, illustration, and book jacket design.
