  <default_description>Designer looks. Creative know-how. Use-what-you-have ingenuity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thrift meets craft in &lt;i&gt;Sew Stylish&lt;/i&gt;, as author Katie Ebben presents easy sewing techniques to help you embellish, reinvent, and recycle everyday clothing and accessories. Whether it&amp;#8217;s trimming a plain shirt with a ribbon, lengthening curtains with a false hem, or patching the elbow of a cardigan, each project blends sewing instruction and creative inspiration simply and wonderfully. Chapters focus on trimming, patching, hemming, darning and disguising, customizing, and reinventing, with step-by-step instructions and drawings to ensure polished results on the first try. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Easy-sew ideas for customizing clothes and home accessories.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Make it quick; make it your own. &lt;i&gt;Sew Stylish&lt;/i&gt; offers simple makeovers for everything from jeans to sweaters to off-the-rack basics. Author Katie Ebben presents a modern twist on traditional sewing techniques and demonstrates clever ways to embellish, reinvent, and transform items for home and wardrobe. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Eighteen inspiring projects incorporate everything from beading and appliqu&#233; to hemming and trimming. The approach is fun and lighthearted, and the clearly illustrated step-by-step instructions provide foolproof formulas to give soft furnishings and clothing a new lease on life.</default_description>
