Stitch At Home: Over 20 Handmade Fabric and Embroidery Projects: Make Your House a Home with Over 20 Handmade Projects

This is a lovely book with lots of projects small, medium and large comprising of a mixture of stitching and applique - with projects to suit beginners and experienced. At the start of the book is a comprehensive guide to the stitches used for both right and left handers. Then some of the projects covered are: modern sampler with house and garden; union jack tea cozy; sewing machine cover (shaped like a shop with a sewing room and cute dog); cottage sewing case (my favourite); beach bag; home appliqued quilt(includes house/cottage, a teepee, shop front, caravan etc); gingerbread house (for Christmas). All themed around houses and the home with clear instructions and templates in the back. This book is full of cute designs, sure to please.

I love this book and can't wait to get started on the projects. I want to do the sewing machine cover and it is a big project. The instructions look comprehensive but I don't think it will be easy, but I love a challenge. It is going to look soooo cute in my newly refurbished sewing room. All the projects are very cute and several look straightforward. The project that practises lots of stitches would be good for a newcomer. All in all an excellent buy for the stitcher addicted to making her house gorgeous

Excellent book - simple instructions which are easy to follow, the third book from Mandy and every bit as good as the first 2 books. Advice and tips along the way and in addition to this you can purchase materials from her website at dandelion designs - I have made items out of the first 2 books and have just got my material to make out of this one. Useful and practical.

Quite a nice book with some nice makes in it.I wouldnt make all of the items in this book but there are some that I certainly would add to my 'to do' list. Such as: the lovely sewing machine cover which looks like the front of a sewing shop - the doors open to reveal storage for sewing nik naks. A fab patchwork quilt with applique motifs including a caravan, schoolhouse, teepee, chicken & chickenhouse, rabbit & hutch, beach hut, garden shed, dog & kennel, cottage, house,and tree with birdhouse. All in lovely colours. There are also some nice cushions. Also included are: a childs teepee, beachbag, bunting, deckchair, toy dog, neckerchief for dog, dog bed, sewing case in shape of cottage,applique tablecloth, union jack tea cosy, stitched sampler picture, gingerbread men tree decorations and gingerbread house. All templates at the back of book which the majority are full size - some need enlarging. As usual, instructions for decorative stitches, etc.

Another great book from the inspirational Mandy Shaw. I loved her first book, so was pretty sure I'd like this one. It makes me want to fill my home with lovely things and, even better, this book makes it possible for anyone to achieve, even a fairly novice beginner like me! As in Stitch With Love, this collection has an uncluttered contemporary look that's simply stunning. And it's not just for beginners but would suit any lover of stitching at all levels I'm sure. It's good to have a book with things that can be made fairly quickly but also, for me anyway, larger and more ambitious projects to aim for as I become more experienced. There's lots of help, with well-illustrated techniques and plenty of tips too along the way. I'm sure that eventually I'll be making the lovely patchwork and appliqued quilt too. I can't wait! Off to get my sewing stuff out again! What a great way to spend a day off!

This is a great little sewing book. It's packed full of inspirational ideas, beautifully photographed, and it really makes you want to try the projects for yourself. It would make a great present for anyone who loves to sew.

What a wonderful book to follow the first one in the series. Hope there will be more. Again very easy to read and follow instructions. Beautiful designs and projects for machine sewing and for embroidering. As a novice I can't wait to get started on one and hopefully even all the projects that are in these books. Delighted I have my copies.

What a lovely book! I can't wait to buy Mandy's first book also - Stitch with Love! There are some great projects in Stitch at Home, my favourite is the sewing machine cover with the applique doors at the front which open to reveal pockets for your needles, scissors etc!! I cannot wait to start the projects.

This lovely book is exactly as described. I gave my copy to my grown daughter who took it with some fabrics and threads from my stash before flying back to her state. I wanted to remember to order it for myself before I forgot.The shipping was super fast. I will mark this seller and use again!

i am convinced that any book by this author is worth the investment! a beautiful illustration for each project and very clear instructions. very nicely done. I love it!

This book is filled with needlework and embroidery ideas. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in handmade needlework.

this is for a granddaughter to teach her how to hand embroider. Hope she will love it as it a really cute book

Love it!
