Simple machine sewing : a beginner's guide to making home accessories, bags, clothes, and more / Angela Pressley.
As well as being an invaluable skill and a relaxing hobby, machine sewing is a great way of being kind to the planet by upcycling scraps of fabric. Here, expert sewing teacher Angela Pressley shows you how to make 30 stunning homewares, accessories, and garments, each of which will help you to practice different techniques. Learn how to sew curves, add pockets, and work with lightweight fabrics as you make bag designs such as a jewelry pouch, a reversible tote, and a foldaway shopper. Next, master topstitching, quilting, and patchwork so that you can create homewares including a pouffe, bowl cozies, and plant-pot covers. Finally, there's a chapter of clothes and accessories such as a top, a cross-back apron, and a bucket hat, where you'll learn how to sew a double hem, add a lining, and draft a paper pattern. You'll also find a guide to all the tools and equipment you will need, as well as step-by-step tutorials that guide you through the machine-sewing techniques.
