From the Bookcase: Take a Tea Towel by Jemima Schlee

 

Who would have thought that the humble tea towel could be transformed into a number of fabulous projects? Craft magazine contributor Jemima Schlee demonstrates how you too can create one of 16 projects quickly and simply using basic materials and a little know-how in Take a Tea Towel: 16 Beautiful Projects for your Home (published by GMC).

A brief introduction is followed by a full colour photo gallery of the projects within the book which you can find in one of the four following chapters: The Workroom, The Laundry Room, The Bathroom and The Kitchen.

Each project is clearly explained and accompanied by full colour photographs taking you through the instructions step-by-step. Further information on techniques including an introduction to materials and equipment, using a sewing machine and basic seams are included at the end of the book. It also provides step-by-step instructions and advice on adding finishing details to your projects with hand-stitching, embroidery and fabric painting techniques.

Take a Tea Towel (rrp.£12.99) is available from all good booksellers including Amazon now (ISBN: 9781861087904).
