Using easy sewing techniques and bright, fresh fabrics, this book shows you how to make a range of soft furnishings and other items, from cushions, throws and bags to a cot quilt, table linen and even a blind.

Each project can be completed in just one weekend. Clear step-by-step instructions and colour photographs make the process straightforward and simple, even for absolute beginners.

A basics section at the front of the book takes you through all the essential techniques, from simple hems and seams to piping and buttonholes.
