Sew Bunting by Debbie Shore

Step by step guide to creative bunting

The book caught my attention with its appealing cover. It's modern and colorful, suggesting a pleasant experience as I began to explore its contents.

The layout is clean, featuring a well-organized contents page with thumbnail images. The initial sections cover essential tools, basic techniques, and some stitches—ideal for beginners and concise enough for those who want to move ahead.

Following that, you'll find a variety of bunting designs, each accompanied by step-by-step instructions and clear images. The themed bunting styles cater to many occasions, providing ample inspiration for your sewing projects.

One design that stands out to me is the Pocket Bunting, which would be quite useful in my studio for organizing small items like tailor's chalk and seam rippers. I also appreciate the creative use of shapes beyond the typical triangles commonly associated with bunting.

The presentation of this book is impressive, showcasing the creative ideas Debbie has brought to life. While the focus is on bunting, I think it’s wonderful to support anything that encourages newcomers to start sewing. This book serves that purpose well, with its vibrant pages and achievable projects that inspire creativity.

You don't need to be a beginner to appreciate this book. Even with a lifetime of sewing experience, I find it inspiring from a creative standpoint, making it suitable for all skill levels.

Sew Bunting is published by Search Press, and I purchased my copy from Amazon for under £7.50, including P&P. The only question remaining is, where will you get yours?
