About the Book:
This latest instalment in Debbie Shore's popular Half Yard series focuses on nostalgic, vintage-inspired accessories made from small fabric leftovers. Shore opens with practical guidance on materials, cutting layouts and core sewing techniques before walking readers through 23 projects, including a lacy pillow cover that brings Victorian charm to any sofa, and a bucket-style wash bag ideal for travel. A dressing table cover and pretty posy cones repurpose scraps into decorative accents, while tea-time favourites such as a snug tea cosy, made-to-measure tray cover and delicate cake frill combine nostalgia with everyday usefulness. Each project is presented with clear photographs and easy-to-follow written instructions that demystify both machine and hand-sewing techniques, so newcomers can build confidence while seasoned stitchers enjoy fast, satisfying makes. The emotional appeal is in the handmade result: these projects become thoughtful gifts or charming home touches, encouraging creativity, reducing fabric waste and building a mindful, sustainable approach to crafting.
