Sew Felt Animals From Apple Blossom Wood | Claire Bowman
Regular price £16.99
Tax included.
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Step into the whimsical world of Apple Blossom Wood with this delightful collection of sewing patterns for felt toys to treasure.
Featuring seven heirloom toy sewing patterns for 16 inch felt animal dolls and their beautifully detailed vintage clothing, all based around the theme of Apple Blossom Wood, the fictional village where they live.
- The animals all have back stories that are reflected in their outfits, really bringing their personalities to life. Bertie Bear is an antiques dealer and wears his waistcoat and peaked cap with pride.
- The full-size templates for the dolls and their garments are included.
- Features detailed step-by-step instructions and diagrams for the dolls and their wardrobes.
Bertie Bear, Chester and Sapphire Fox, Eli and Elisha Elephant and Emma and Byron the Highland Cows are the animals who have made Apple Blossom Wood their home. Eli and Elisha escaped from the travelling circus and now they make a living by harvesting apples for their delicious apple sauce. Emma and Byron the Highland cows live in the manor house on the edge of the village and Sapphire Fox runs the millinery shop and enjoys showing off her fine clothes when she's out and about with Chester Fox.
The design of the clothing is very detailed with lots of tailored garments like waistcoats and shirts, offering a fun sewing challenge. The designs have a 1920/30s aesthetic and Bertie Bear, with his flat cap and waistcoat, bears a striking resemblance to Thomas Shelby from Peaky Blinders.
Enjoy making these delightful dolls and their wonderful wardrobes to treasure forever.

Clone Your Clothes | Claire-Louise Hardie
Regular price £16.99
Tax included.
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Everyone has their favourite items of clothing that they love because they fit them perfectly and look great. This practical guide for home dressmakers explains how to remake your wardrobe favourites without having to unpick and ruin the originals.
Discover how to create a wardrobe full of your favourite items that you know will fit perfectly and can be remade again and again in various fabrics simply by using a combination of techniques including tracing and measuring to create your own dressmaking patterns.
To get a truly accurate pattern the best way is to take the garment apart but that would destroy the original piece this instructional guide to pattern making explains a number of techniques you can use that enable you to remake without having to ruin first.
These include the Direct Measurement technique which works well for simple shapes without too much shaping or detail. Another method covered is Over Draping which is useful for complicated designs like a waterfall frill or a ruched panel, where measuring or tracing would be impossible, and the third method is the Tracing method which is a quick and easy technique suitable for lots of different styles of clothing.

Sewing for the Soul | Jules Fallon
Regular price £19.99
Tax included.
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Sewing is good for the soul and this collection of garments, accessories and loungewear sewing patterns is designed to soothe the soul and lift the spirits. But this book isn't just about the clothes, it's about the power of sewing to help you relax and unwind: there are smaller projects for hand sewing, the ultimate mindful craft, and quick dressmaking patterns.
As well as the sewing projects there is also a smattering of delicious recipes to feed more than just the soul! Sewing and baking have always been natural bed fellows and this collection features garments, cakes and drinks to celebrate every season whether it's 'Mullered Wine' in the winter or a delicious Lemon Drizzle Cake for the summer.
There are full-size, graded patterns (up to a UK size 26/US size 22) for 10 easy-to-wear garments, including pyjama pants, a linen T-shirt, a summer dress and palazzo pants. This means you can find your perfect size and start sewing straight away without printing out the patterns. The designs are for relaxed-fit clothes and 'loungewear' suitable for both work and home, and all the garment instructions are written step-by-step and include diagrams, making them suitable for all abilities.
Unlike other sewing collections Sewing For The Soul takes you on a journey throughout the year with sewing patterns, projects, recipes and drinks to take you from season to season. By the end of the year, you will have a whole new wardrobe to be proud of and will have spent many relaxing hours mindfully making.
The projects are presented seasonally, and each season includes a slow sewing project for when you have more time, a quick sewing project so that even the time-poor can enjoy some therapeutic sewing, and either a hand-sewing project, such as embroidering a decorative detail onto one of the garments, or a reinvention project.
