We are delighted to bring this beautiful publication by hand sewing advocate, Louisa Owen Sonstroem, to the UK.
Hand sewing clothing can be a radical act of slow fashion. Reclaim the democratic, accessible, ancient power of sewing that needs no machine.
Our hands have the power to make the clothes in which we live.
For those seeking a slower, gentler way to make clothes, this book will serve as a guide to sewing clothing by hand — without use of a sewing machine.
Learn the techniques needed to stitch sturdy, modern adult clothing by hand. Ponder the bigger picture with several contextual essays, and then settle in for storytime, as you read a set of stories about hand-sewn clothes.

I simple love this book! Well explained and easy to fellow. I'm already in the middle of my first handsew'n dress, and looking forward to extending my handmade wardrobe.
This is a lovely book with lots of interesting content alongside really helpful tips and advice. So refreshing to find a book that advocates for hand sewing

I love pretty much anything published by Laine, they have outdone themselves with this issue however.
Immediately on flicking through I bookmarked three 'must knits' and really enjoyed the article on Satu Rämö too ( if you've not read her novels now is a very good time to start).
Really enjoying this card deck, is helping improve my granny square skills. Instructions are clear, easy and fun!
These are the most beautiful Cohana sciossors I now have in my collection! The colour of a camelia blooming in the snow with the white leather case and silver sparkly star is the most beautiful of them all!
I have used a few of these threads for my sashiko and pleased every time with the results . Although fine , even using them single stranded , the colours pop out against the fabric. They feel so smooth when stitching with them . They arrived quickly too.
This thread looks beautiful on the fabric and fills so well. Would love to have more choice of colours.
I bought this for my 8 year old granddaughter who enjoys sewing. I think it is never too early to learn how to mend. I hope she really enjoys it.
A substantial tool, really useful for turning corners out, have added a Liberty ribbon so it doesn't go missing!!
Simply so pleased with this lovely little acorn, absolutely gorgeous, a beautiful addition to my sewing room.
This site was recommended by a sewing friend. The magnetic block is beautifully made and makes the perfect gift. Beautifully wrapped and delivered quickly. Highly recommend this company.
Bought as present for my cousin. She loved the choice of colours.
Great service too thank you
