Cath Kidston is one of the queens of the land of sewing and flowery fabrics. From a tiny London shop she's now taking over the world with her designs and prints are popping up on everything from tents to trowels.
If that isn't enough she has a new book out too. Following on the rose-printed heels of her first books Sew! and Make!, her new book Stitch! continues the shouty title and cutesy project theme.
As an added bonus the book also includes everything you need to make the pretty purse on the front cover, inside the front cover. A clever pocket in the cover acts as a mini stash for the whole project.
This makes it a great gift to give someone who has you want to beckon into the world of stitching, as the book makes it so easy peasy for them to start.
Hooray for books with crafty stuff stashed in them. Let's hope it's a trend that keeps up.
