Take your sewing on a journey around the world with Around the World in 80 Sews, the new book from Luke-Matthew Iveson, winner of Series 10 of The Great British Sewing Bee.
Part reference book, part project book and part global sewing adventure, this fascinating book explores 80 sewing and textile techniques from around the world, looking at the people, places, cultures and traditions behind them. From traditional hand stitching to decorative textile techniques, it offers a chance to discover new ways of making while learning more about the stories and history that surround them.
Luke's curiosity began with techniques such as Japanese sashiko and grew into a much wider exploration of textile traditions from around the globe. The result is a book designed not only to inspire you to pick up your needle and thread, but to encourage you to explore the history and cultural context behind the techniques you discover.
