There are a whole range of designs to sew and inspire you! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEvery project includes easy-to-follow instructions and illustrated step-by-steps. The variety of techniques used for the projects, such as English paper piecing, piping, fitting zips, dying and felting, are also explained clearly and with photographs, helping you create professional (and enviable) results. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe beauty of working with pre-owned fabrics is that you won't get shrinkage or risk colour running, as these items will already have been laundered; you'll also have a fabulous choice of unique fabrics that you just wouldn't be able to buy new. And, of course, you're keeping that fabric from going into landfill!\u003cbr\u003eSo be inspired to give it a go! Take a look in your wardrobe, salvage your old favourites and give them a new lease of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDebbie Shore\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eDebbie Shore is a best-selling and award-winning author.
