Book Review and Giveaway: Sew Illustrated

August 19, 2016 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 123 Comments

Sew Illustrated, 35 Charming Fabric and Thread Designs, by Minki Kim and Kristin Esser

Sew Illustrated , 35 Fabric and Thread Designs is the newly released and much anticipated book by the talented duo Minki Kim and Kristin Esser. It is bursting with gorgeous and colourful designs using the Sewing Illustration techniques that Minki has become renowned for.  What I love most about this book, is that the projects have that wonderful Zakka aesthethic that you find in Japanese craft books. Using natural linen and colourful printed cottons, Minki and Kristin have designed a range of sweet and useful items to use around your home or to give as gifts. Sew Illustrated includes instructions for making 16 Zakka projects and you have the option of customising the items with the sewing illustrations of your choice. So many inspiring designs and projects to choose from.

Although I have dabbled in raw edge applique, I have never made such small applique projects before. Minki and Krstin have included a helpful chapter that shows you all the techniques and tips you will need to create successful sewing illustrations.  I couldn’t wait to get started! I couldn’t resist the sewing and baking themed pincushions that I have long been admiring on Minki’s instagram feed. They were so much fun to make. I especially loved choosing just the right fabric scraps for each project and fussy cutting the design to make an original sewing illustration.

Who can resist a gingham sewing machine?

These pincushions were such a quick and fun little project. It is hard to stop at one …. All the projects in the book are beautifully photographed and styled. The book includes full sized patterns, and the illustrations are printed on iron-on transfer paper so they are easy to transfer to your project.

I also made the Tea Mat which features a stack of tea cups. I loved adding the embroidery detail around the outside edge.

I have done turned edge hand applique and machine applique with the blanket stitch, but I really love the raw edge look. I have read a few on-line tutorials and the bloggers really make it sound easy…I just need to sit down one day and give it a try!

    My fingers have been itching to do free stitching but I never have tried. Want to ever so much!

    Those pin cushions are lovely. I’ve tried raw edge applique once a few years ago. Will have to give it another go. Thanks for the great giveaway.

    Your pincushions are so cute! I really like the twill tape with the tape measurement marks on them. I have never seen that before. Where did you get it? You tea mat is cute too!

      Thanks Patty – if you search for zakka tape on Etsy you should be able to find some tape measure ribbon.

    I made a ‘fly away’ block for the quilt for Merel from the Netherlands with 5 little birds. I’m interested to learn any tips or tricks that would improve my stitching.
