ABOUT
15 projects to sew a sustainable wardrobe using left over fabrics.
Home sewing can create a lot of natural wastage, and it can be tricky to find ways to use leftover fabric pieces. Sewing with Scraps will show you how to think sustainably and make 15 fashion-forward garments and accessories in sizes UK 6–30, including a workwear jacket, patchwork tee, quilted coat, tote bag and more.
Designer's Birgitta Helmersson and Sam Grose will teach you three core methods to make the most of your scraps – patchwork, strips and collage – before you put them to use. This book includes 3 unisex HELGROSE PDF patterns – The Comfort Pant, Tee and Workwear Jacket. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced sewer, Sewing with Scraps will show you how to elevate leftover fabrics into clothing you’ll treasure for years to come.

I am very pleased with this hand tool. I am sewing fifty A3 artist books and my usual tools were not really up to the job. I am able to manage 5 sheets of 200gms paper at a time - there are 46 sheets in each book; it is a labour of love, enjoyable, meditative. I first tried a much cheaper option and returned it, as it could do no more than my awl - one page at a time!
Exactly what I was looking for to punch holes into leather. got the separate 2mm attachment, the puncher is very easy to use and sharp, leaves a very clean hole in the leather. Delivery was speedy too. Overall, very happy with my purchase.
It’s beautiful kit. I’m wondering why I didn’t buy it years ago! I’m half way through and really enjoying it.
Works well and good to hold useful for paper modelling
The paper treat box really is a great treat. I love the Italian paper scissors and the gorgeous Japanese mechanical pencil. The handmade wooden handle awl is of great quality. I have always wanted the metal ruler for cutting and protecting your fingers. Handmade twine and quality papers and tapes The box is great value for money. I also got a gift of Beyond Measure 10 Year Tote and pencil. Thank you so much for those. I highly recommend this box full of goodies.
