No-Sew Love
By Johnston, Ashley
Although Ashley Johnston is comfortable with a needle and thread - and really enjoys making handmade items for her children and home - she could certainly understand that sewing machines can strike fear and dread into the hearts of many crafters.

No-Sew Love is filled with ideas for the non-sewing crafter or for the more casual sewist who would rather not haul out the sewing machine for a quick project. Materials all easily found at craft and fabric stores - hem tape, fusible webbing, a variety of glues, and of course, fabric - are all you need to whip up the 50 no-sew wonders in the book. There are throw pillows, grommet curtain panels, cute kids' clothing, holiday decorations, and even accessories for you! Projects are photographed at each step for crystal-clear directions, and sure-to-please results.
