Crafty Chica’s Guide to Artful Sewing: Fabu-Low-Sew Projects for the Everyday Crafter
‘fearless Kamikazi sewing’ from thread artist, Kathy Cano-Murillo. These are all low-sew projects perfect for the beginner sewer who just wants to get crackin on some real projects but is too afraid to muck it up. Kathy has such a fantastic attitude – no perfect seams, handsewing invisible hems, or time consuming embroidered designs – but she does show us how to add sparkle and flare without too much effort – encouraging everyone to ‘have a go’ no matter your level of skills.
This is a hilarious crazy romp of mad craftyness – so much crazy colours, textures, fabrics, with tips for easy quick fixes and how to do your preparation in advance to allow for smooth sailing down the track. The books shines with personality and makes sewing fun – a real inspiration.
Lots of fun bags – these were probably my favourite things – colourful mexican inspired designs – using oilcloth, slide projector sheets and t-shirts, there are also some fun refashioning ideas – lots of buttons and applique – I loved the mens work shirt turned summer frock and the tablecloth skirt.
