Have fun mixing up your fabric choices for a totally unique creation that would also be suitable for a valued friend or work colleague, spread the love!

Josie Day enjoys sewing of any type but all of her projects feature raw edge appliqué in one form or another. She absolutely loves this technique and its ability to look funky and modern or classic and sophisticated! Her blog www.sewforsoul.blogspot.co.uk is dedicated to sewing and she regularly posts free tutorials and projects there. She lives in the North East of England with her very patient husband, two lovely children and a very naughty cat!
