Synopsis

An inspiring core collection of 25 simple home furnishings and accessories gives ideas and instructions for adding a unique touch of Liberty print to your life, pairing the timeless style and sophistication found in Liberty Art Studio fabrics with the simplest sewing techniques to give a quirky edge to contemporary homewares. With every project designed to be easy-sew for the novice sewer, the collection includes simple cushions, curtains, picture frames and table cloths while other homewares range from the practical to the indulgent, from the chic to the fun: a clever bolster cushion that doubles as summer storage for a winter duvet, a contemporary quilt of graphic chevrons in shades of blue, a bicycle basket bag with matching padded seat cover for Liberty style on the go.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Liberty has always been a byword for quality, style and even luxury. Progressive yet traditional, Liberty Art Fabrics are unique in marrying the contemporary with the timeless. This is reflected in The Liberty Book of Simple Sewing, which offers the home sewer a chance to add an element of Liberty style to their interior through the 25 simple sewing projects.

Sewing really doesn t need to be complicated. In fact, if you can sew a line of straight stitches then you can make a surprisingly large number of sewn items for your home, starting with curtains, throws and cushions. Add curved seams and slip stitching hems into your sewing repertoire and you will have the skills to make the majority of projects in this book, from the largest curtain panel to the smallest rag doll. You don t need to be a skilled seamstress to achieve professional looking results as the projects have all been design with the novice stitcher in mind, and yet the more experienced maker will undoubtedly find items to spark their sewing imaginations.

Cloud Cushion and Cloud Mobile

Revue de presse :

'As the follow up to The Liberty Book of Home Sewing, this book is great for beginners who want to learn to sew and create their own home furnishings and accessories. It has everything you need to know, from the essential tools and equipment required, to how to hem, bind, seam and create joins. Each step of the way there are handy diagrams with easy-to-follow instructions and beautiful Liberty print fabric suggestions.' --Good Homes, 1st October 2013

'It wasn't going to be hard to convince us on a book filled with sewing projects made from Liberty fabric because, well, Liberty fabric is beautiful anyway, but Lucinda Ganderton and Christine Leech's projects in The Liberty Book of Simple Sewing do it justice and more. With 25 makes in Liberty's signature floral patterns, there's the worry that the whole thing could come across a bit twee, but contemporary styling with an industrial edge sells it as relevant to the modern home.' --Crafty Magazine, issue 6, September 2013
