Contained within are all the techniques needed, explained using clear, simple steps - including advice on choosing the right stitches, needles and threads for your heavyweight fabrics - along with simple, easy-to-use patterns.
Choose from a range of practical bags and strong storage, including rucksacks, shopper bags and bicycle bags, as well as a tool belt, tablet case and sturdy baskets for your home: sustainable and robust items for you to use over and over again.
A translation of the popular German title by experienced textile designer and author Laura Sinikka Wilhelm.
Laura Sinikka Wilhelm learnt to appreciate good design as a child, so it was only natural for her to choose a profession in design once she had finished school. She studied textile design in Germany and Finland, graduating in 1997 with a degree in the subject from the University of Applied Sciences in Reutlingen, Germany. Since then she has been self-employed and works as a freelance fashion and textile designer, as well as a guest lecturer and course instructor in Germany and Finland. In 2009, her first sewing book was published. Since then, she has published a total of 11 books and works as an author for publishers in Germany, Finland and Switzerland. She has also worked on television and, since January 2011, has been a regular sewing expert on the SWR show Kaffee oder Tee (Coffee or Tea) in Germany. With a Finnish mother, she feels very attached to her second home. She has always found this connection to the North to be greatly enriching, and this is unmistakably reflected in her work.
