Synopsis

This collection brings together 12 projects for homewares and wearables, from a floor cushion and apron to table mats, a wall hanging and a dinosaur-inspired appliqué for a denim jacket. Murray introduces fusible appliqué with step-by-step instructions and illustrations, alongside practical guidance on getting the most from your sewing machine and working with unusual fabrics.

Additional techniques include fussy cutting, layered appliqué, fabric selection and “auditioning”, plus advice on tension, machine feet, threads and needles. The book also covers hand embroidery, decorative stitches, quilting, finishing methods and embellishment, showing how to build distinctive effects using a sewing machine’s stitch library. Designed for sewers and quilters looking for quick, characterful projects, it also suits gift-making for family and friends.
