Forget neat stitches and sewing in straight lines, it's time to break the rules with Free & Easy Stitch Style by Poppy Treffry.

The book aims to help you find your own personal sewing style, break free from the conventional and stitch one-of-a-kind creations. Learn techniques such as outlining & shading, appliques and dealing with rough edges. Create special greetings cards, beautiful breakfast cosies for your eggs and teapots, an applique perfect pinny and hairband, freah-as-a-daisy curtains and an oh-so-tasty picnic blanket

Fire up your sewing machine and like with paper and pencil, learn how to draw with thread on fabric.
