Whether you're looking to refresh, transform or personalise your clothing, soft furnishings or fabric accessories, or to dye fabric so that you can create brand-new items, this book has you covered.

This simple but rich and informative book contains everything you need to know to start dyeing. It shows you how to create 12 dazzling dye effects - from tie-dyeing and dip-dyeing to creating checks, lines, droplets and bubbles - and then shows you how to put them into practice to create 21 gorgeous sewn projects, ranging from bags and pillows to towels, scarves and clothing.

All the sewing steps are explained clearly, with handy illustrations to provide clarity where necessary.

• Less Rush, More Rhythm

• Less Liking, More Loving

• Less Distraction, More Connection

• Less Chasing, More Cherishing

• Less Stuff, More Treasures

Getting to more might require some outside-the-box changes, some unraveling of the patterns you have adopted, and some reworking of the day to day. Build a life based on your core values instead of slipping into a life dictated by society or what's ""normal."" Because you weren't made for normal. You were made for morefor a life of fullness, dreaming, and lasting joy.
