Full description for Sew Liberated

  • "Sew Liberated" is the first how-to book of its kind to resurrect the art of applique for today's generation of sewists looking to imbue their work with creative style. Readers will learn hand and machine applique techniques for use outside the traditional quilting context, plus how to create fabric collages. Applique, a technique in which pieces of fabric are sewn onto clothing, bags, quilts, and other creations, allows do-it-yourself sewists to take embroidery to a new level; it's an ideal format for those with some sewing experience to break away from the constraints of sewing patterns and create uniquely personal designs. Explore the history of applique and how it was rediscovered in the fiber arts, learn applique and embroidery techniques, and create 25 modern, stylish sewing projects ranging from aprons, skirts, pillows, bags, totes, a duvet cover, a wall clock, blouse, baby quilt, scarf, and much more. This title includes projects that range from simple to advanced in difficulty. Step-by-step instructions, color photographs, and comprehensive how-to embroidery instructions make "Sew Liberated" an all-in-one resource and guide. "Sew Liberated" provides all levels of sewists with new techniques, creative challenges, and a full range of projects ranging in difficulty and time commitment.
