Synopsis

Centred on wellbeing and sustainability, this book presents 35 makes that develop hand-sewing skills while inviting you to slow down and enjoy the process. Laura Strutt introduces a range of techniques, including visible mending, sashiko, embroidery, thread doodling, boro and abstract embroidery, and shows how they can be used to create practical, creative pieces.

Projects span home and wardrobe ideas, from a boro bowl made with fabric scraps and a cushion cover finished with an embroidered mandala, to a floating embroidery design displayed in a hoop. Clothing and accessories are refreshed with details such as floral embroidery on a beanie hat, sashiko stitching on fabric-covered buttons, and upcycled finishes including sleeve trims and elbow patches. Suitable for readers looking to explore mindful craft through hand sewing and mending.
