Sewing with Scraps

Learn how to repurpose leftover fabrics and make a Scandinavian-inspired minimalist wardrobe with Sewing with Scraps. Home sewing creates a lot of natural wastage, and it can be tricky to find a way to use bits and pieces of material you have saved over time. Sewing with Scraps will show you how to think sustainably and repurpose with a purpose to make 15 fashion-forward garments and accessories including a workwear jacket, patchwork tee, quilted coat, tote bag and more.

Swedish designer 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. Featuring a stunning collection of scandi-style clothing and accessories, this book includes three unisex, downloadable PDF patterns in sizes XS-6XL, plus some patternless projects. Use the patterns provided or try out the methods with some of your own - just have fun and try out new things!

Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, Sewing with Scraps will inspire you to sew sustainably and make garments to cherish.
