Modern Sewing Starts Here Edition 10

QUILT PATTERN BOOKS
Elizabeth Hartman has just released two new patchwork
sample pattern books that are perfect for children’s rooms
and nurseries. The Dinosaurs Quilt Pattern Book features
Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, and Triceratops
blocks and The Puppies Quilt Pattern features three dog blocks
– Smokey, Toby, and Lulu. Both are made from square and
rectangular pieces sewn together using conventional patchwork
techniques. There are no templates or paper piecing, and the
pattern includes two quilt sizes, both of which can be made
using either 10in x 10in squares or fat quarters.

WHAT’S
NEW
We keep you posted on the latest launches
LINT REMOVER
The battery-operated lint shaver from Prym leaves
woollen clothing looking like new! Behind the
shaving head with holes lies a shearing device
with sharp blades that rotate. When you pass this
over the fabric and apply slight pressure, it shaves
the surface lint and little pilled fibre balls off, and
collects them in the collection cup. The spacer has
three settings to suit different materials.

RECYCLED WADDING
Vlieseline has just brought out two weights
of high loft polyester wadding that is
entirely made from recycled polyester – R80
and R200. R80 is a lighter weight, whilst
R200 is a heavier (200gsm) weight wadding
but both have the same qualities. The bulky
sew-able wadding has a soft handle made
from100% recycled polyester fibres with a
high migration resistance. They are ideal
for all your quilting, patchwork, and
garment projects, and can be sewn by
hand or machine.
