Maker Sewing is the latest craft book by Kate Smith.  She is the owner of the thriving Makery sewing cafe workshops in the UK.  She's been busy with her needle and sewing machine to ring you this collection of 30-plus sewing projects.  The projects span fashion, gifts, and home ideas.

There are several projects in Makery Sewing that I look forward to making:
Pajama shorts
Hooped laundry bag
Picnic cutlery wraps
Tool apron
Doorstop
Table place mats
Storage box


Makery Sewing is suitable for beginners and is very user friendly.  It has clear instructions, time guidelines, handy tips and the required tool lists.
Measurements are given in both metric as well as standard.
In fact, each projects includes pictures of the tools and supplies you will need for each project as you can see on this page on making a dog collar:

There is a full chapter dedicated to stitches and tips.  It also includes the necessary patterns in a pull out section at the back of the book:

 Will you be getting your Makery on?

Makery--Over 30 Projects for the Home, To Wear, and to Give by Kate Smith

Over 30--there are 31 projects in this book.  There are some really cool projects, if I must say so myself.
The book is set up into 3 sections:  fashion, gifts, and home.  Although, anything from any of the sections would make nice handmade gifts.

If you know me, you know that I am all about handmade.  There are so many projects in this book that I want to make!   Just a few of them are the crocheted slippers, shoulder bag, make-up roll, tablet case, button magnets, tea light ins, and fifties frilly apron.

Makery is 159 pages.  Instructions and materials for each projects are clearly and visually laid out.  There are 7 pages of stitches and tips at the back of the book as well as a page of stocklists.
It also includes pull-out patterns as pictured below.

Once I get a chance to make some of the things in Makery, I will come back to this post and update it with pictures!
