“I made it myself!”Sewing classes are busting at the seams. High school and college campuses now have sewing clubs, and kids are fl ocking to sewing camps. Sewing circles are meeting online. And the new urban hangout? The sewing lounge. Looks like sewing has cast off its “Becky Home-Ec-y” image for good! Everyone’s taking it up—fashion-obsessed teens, eco-conscious professionals, retiring baby boomers. These days, who doesn’t want to save money, reuse and recycle, be more self-suffi cient . . . and do it creatively?

Hungry for how-tosToday’s sewing fans are keen to learn and then keep learning with fresh patterns and innovative new techniques. That’s where Storey comes in. A long-time leader in the back-to-basics movement, Storey naturally offers stitchers a deep lineup of both tried-and-true and hip new DIY guides.

Twelve guides to collectThe thrifty stitcher might start with best-seller One-Yard Wonders for patterns aimed at that stash of leftover fabric. Project Runway fans, with Generation T’s inspired T-shirt transformations. The no-frills sewer, with the popular Sew What! Skirts — with projects so easy they’re pattern-free. The eco-conscious can say no to plastic in dozens of ways with Sew What! Bags and Sew & Stow. And of course there are handy, go-to resources like The Sewing Answer Book and The Quilting Answer Book. With all these great choices, beginners and experts alike are bound to add more than one title to their library.
