    Book SynopsisUnderstated and gorgeous, The Hand-Stitched Flower Garden is a book of delicate decorative stitching motifs inspired by nature, coupled with a collection of twenty projects to create by mixing and matching the designs.Organized by season, the book offers a gallery of embroidery patterns reflecting the beauty and variety of the garden - from tulips, sunflowers, asters, and violets, to little bumblebees, ladybugs, and dragonflies - all made using surface stitches, dimensional stitches, and bead embroidery.Each season begins with two spreads showcasing stunning embroidery motifs in a visual catalog which lets the reader select a desired design. Spring includes classic symbols of the season, such as magnolia blossoms, daffodils, tulips, and lavender. Here, too, are garden creatures like butterflies and ladybugs. In Summer, come the sunflowers, cosmos, and other bright blooms, as well as summer fruits. Fall's bounty features colorful leaves along with acorns, chestnuts, dragonflies, and asters. And when Winter arrives, the poinsettias, camellias, and evergreens are vibrant against the snowy backdrop, which sparkles with light thanks to the addition of beads and sequins.Following the motif selector pages, the author guides the reader through season-specific projects. Whether it's a hanger cover, a cell phone case, coasters, or jewelry, each project can be created exactly as shown, or can easily be customized by substituting different designs from the gallery. Again arranged by season, the projects include detailed directions, photographs of the steps, and actual-size templates where appropriate.All the essential information about tools, techniques, and stitches, as well as the templates, can be found at the back of the book.

Designed for individuals to learn from and experienced sewists or shops who want to use this as a teaching tool for their own licensed School of Sewing class. All the basics will be covered with clear instructions from former educator, Shea Henderson. The book is designed to tackle one project a month with each building on the skills learned in the previous lesson. 'Extra Credit' for each project is offered for each of the 12 projects which encourages students to add one more bit of flair to make their project really sing. Fabric store field trip, machine buying tips, and essential school supplies are all included in this modern, sophisticated, beginning sewing book.Trade ReviewNovember 2014 This should be everyone's first sewing book! A technique based book for the first-time sewist but packed with attractive (not juvenile) projects that everyone will want to make. Designed for individuals to learn from and experienced sewists or shops who want to use this as a teaching tool for their own licensed School of Sewing class. All the basics will be covered with clear instructions from former educator, Shea Henderson.

Fabric store field trip, machine buying tips, and essential school supplies are all included in this modern, sophisticated, beginning sewing book. O'Mahony's Bookseller November 2014 This book contains 12 months of sewing lessons, following a group of beginners learning to use their sewing machines. Each detailed lesson plan includes easy-to-follow instructions, advice on buying fabric and other necessities. The first third of the book has interesting chapters on the sewing machine, which should be of great help to people who are complete beginners. Choosing materials is discussed before the projects start. Each one may appear simple but they contain different skills that help the sewer progress with confidence. Being an American publication there are quotes from pupils alongside the progress; perhaps schools over there do even less stitching than UK ones have taught over the last few years. This was an enjoyable read for beginner and more experienced stitchers; all can gain some ideas to impress family and friends. Merseyside Embroiderer's Guild (megonline.co.uk) November 2014 Are you a first time sewer? Discover all you need to know in this practical book. Like having your own teacher, there are 12 months of sewing lessons. The first 69 pages are all about sewing machines, fabrics, vocabulary of sewing. The second half of the book is all about projects. Simple projects build your confidence - pillowcase, drawstring bag and so on but each project teaches at least one skill such as French seams or boxed corners. The layout of the book is great with easy to use instructions and how-to-illustrations. There are 12 contemporary projects in all. Great book, highly recommended for beginners. Karen Platt Yarnsandfabrics.co.uk/crafts December 2014 Typically, sewing books are like little journeys into the minds and worlds of pattern designers. You come for the innovative designs and gorgeous photos, and stay for the expert tips and little anecdotes about where the author found inspiration. Even as many designers approach their work as more process than product, the products are ultimately what define them. Think of Carolyn Friedlander's Savor Each Stitch, a book that we love. Anyone with even basic knowledge of quilting's bigwigs would recognize that book as uniquely hers (both for her slow-cloth process and her amazing designs).Shea Henderson's School of Sewing, the brand new "It-Book" from Lucky Spool, takes a markedly different approach to the traditional sewing guide. The book is, as the title implies, a back-to-basics guide for beginners offering twelve projects of gradually increasing difficulty, from a pillowcase at the beginning to a quilt at the end. And you know what? It actually is a head-over-heels love song to the whole messy, silly process of learning to sew. The book is based on Henderson's year of teaching group lessons to friends and acquaintances, all with little to no sewing experience. Their learning process converges with the reader's as Henderson addresses the sticky issues that actually came up in each lesson and includes quotations from her students about each project. The photos (by Lauren Hunt) are gorgeous, and the projects themselves (some designed by Henderson and some by others) are simple and straightforward. They provide the perfect templates for beginning sewists, introducing skills without unnecessary details yet still leaving students with polished, grownup products like tote bags and tablet cases.

  • Bernie's Mitten Maker

    Green Writers Press Bernie's Mitten Maker

    Book SynopsisBernie’ s Mitten Maker is a raw and honest account of the joy, stress, and shock of sudden internet fame. Told with captivating storytelling, this memoir explores the many roads that led to the Bernie Sanders mitten meme sensation that followed the 2021 presidential inauguration. Jen Ellis’ s debut publication reads like an intimate conversation with an old friend. Vermont teacher, mother, and crafter, Ellis weaves the stories of her life together with humor and thoughtful insight. She shares her struggles with childhood trauma, infertility, and homophobia and shows us how crafting can build community and generosity can bring joy.At the root of the Bernie Sanders mitten meme story, there was a gift. It was a simple gesture that brought joy. The strange and wonderful way these mittens became an iconic symbol of one of the most historic elections in American history is a story worth remembering and repeating. Even in one of our darkest hours, when our world was gripped by the sorrow and loss of the Covid-19 pandemic, we experienced a global moment of laughter. We were able to reach across the partisan divide and share memes with people who didn't agree with on us any other topic. This moment showed us that we can laugh together; we can heal together; we can move on. My gift sparked millions of memes and countless moments of joy, and it is my hope that this joy will continue to spread when this book is shared worldwide.
