SynopsisIndulge your passion for sewing as you clear your life of clutter. Whatever your experience and wherever the mess, you can sew up a cloth sack or organizer to fit your needs. Gardening tools, groceries, shoes, toys, jewelry, and more will find new homes in these colorful and reusable handmade alternatives to mass-produced products. With Betty Oppenheimer's easy-to-follow instructions for 31 fun and functional projects, you'll be inspired to break out your needles and create a more organized, bright, and eco-friendly home., Urban sewing lounges and stitch-centered bridal showers point to the rebirth of sewing. A new generation has finally picked up needle and thread, and they're ready to sew. And why not? With a basic machine and a little know-how, crafters can make stylish and utterly distinct items. In "Sew & Stow: 30 Fun Projects to Carry, Hold, and Organize Your Stuff, Your Home, and Yourself!," Betty Oppenheimer, an avid crafter and sewer, shares 30 of her favorite patterns, including functional items for the home, workshop, camp, and garden. From aprons to hammocks, and from lunch totes to laundry bags, Oppenheimer's projects will help crafters get organized and help the planet with a wide assortment of reusable totes, carry-alls, and shopping bags. Oppenheimer includes fuss-free patterns for everyday necessities, as well as one-of-a-kind items not often found in sewing books -- a log tote for a strapping lumberjack, a stadium seat for the sports enthusiast, and a dog bed for that favorite furry friend. Her projects will appeal to novice and expert crafters alike; each pattern includes step-by-step instructions and illustrations, and each can be completed in just a few hours. Projects are presented with fresh, contemporary fabrics, and are sure to delight even the most trendsetting crafter. With Oppenheimer's help, anyone can turn a swatch of fabric into a practical -- and eye-catching -- item that can be used again and again. "Sew & Stow" includes everything today's sewer needs to move beyond the mass produced, and to create items that are functional, fabulous, and ecofriendly!
