A fabulous new series using leftover fat quarters to create 16 gorgeous items.
Take Two Fat Quarters - Home has 16 gorgeous projects for the home which would also make excellent gifts for friends and family. The Spa Slippers are amazing, as is the Flower Power pillow, but each project is beautifully presented with full instructions and handy hints and tips to get the best results from your sewing. Each page has full colour photographs with step by step instructions and techniques. There is a pattern sheet included and an abundance of helpful information, from tools to adding bias binding. These books are fabulous for a beginner, but if course the advanced sewist can adapt each project to personalise them for their specific requirements. Highly recommended by me! 5*/5
