Cut Shape Stitch! The book is here!

The book has arrived!

I have the first one in my little hot hands!

It has been so lovely to look through it and see all the projects come together in print.

Maggie, Sam and I hope that we will inspire people to use all kinds of cutting techniques in their art; from good old scissors, hand punches and die cutters to amazing electronic machines.

Everyone who has ordered one from me will get them as soon as I have picked them up.

Anyone else who would like to get their hot hands on a  copy can contact me on my email to order them.

They are priced at £16 which isn't too bad for 70 pages, 130 images, step by step instructions and extra  online tutorials to come very soon. We hope you enjoy it! 

I have listed the book on my website too.

 It can be bought with Paypal even if you don't have an account. There is a little button 'New Book' at the very top of the homepage.

Behind the wardrobe door!

I have finished another Altered Book. It is called A Stitch in Time and is all about the joy of stitching and is full of buttons and little sewn things. I need to start a new one now really because I have so many ideas for this subject.

But as you may know I'm working on a very exciting project. (So no time for faffing about!)
It's not an altered book, not a fabric book but a real printed  BOOK! More about that soon. Promise.

For now I thought you might like to see a page out of the Stitch in Time book. this is a copper wardrobe door. It is made using heated copper and a fabulous die from amazing Spellbinders.

It has little hinges to attach it to the book pages and to allow it to open and close. And inside...

Four little dresses on hangers and chain. They are all made with vintage fabrics and lace with tiny hand sewn details. They were such fun to do. I actually made 6 dresses but as you all know we girls can never fit all our clothes in the wardrobe. Ha ha. the little fairies peeking around the door are from a fair.I wish I knew who made them.
