Joel Dewberry's Sewn Spaces [With Pattern(s)] Paperback - 2010 - 1st Edition

Sew your own space!

Fabric - when it comes to the spaces you inhabit, it's the perfect medium for personal expression. Popular fabric designer Joel Dewberry shows you all the simple ways you can use the fabric to define the spaces in your life.

Joel shares more than 25 projects inspired by his Eclectic Modern style to help you bring color, pattern and texture of fabric into the spaces in which you work, play, live:

• 6 projects for the spaces you work in: Who ever said utility and style can't mix? Make a barista apron that showcases your personality, or a memo board that actually brightens your day!
• 9 projects for the spaces you play in: When it comes to play, do it your way. Cuddle up with your custom-made teddy bear (complete with a tummy pocket perfect for an mp3 player), or sew a yoga mat carrier that will show your joy of sun salutations.
• 12 projects for the spaces you live in: Make it distinctly and completely your home. Choose the way to keep warm with a quilted throw you make yourself, or re-upholster that vintage chair find with fabric that brings it back to life!

All these projects and more can be found on the pages of "Joel Dewberry's Sewn Spaces." In addition, Joel gives you the tools you'll need to get started. You'll find techniques at the front of the book, templates at the back, and full-size patterns on a convenient tear-out insert.

Fabric can enhance, even transform, any of the living spaces you find yourself in each day. So go ahead - sew your own space!
