Debbie Shore: about me

When I think back to my childhood I remember

sewing always being a part of it. My mum was

a seamstress and had a sewing room with

cupboards full of wonderful fabrics, old biscuit

tins full of buttons and threads, and drawers

full of ribbons and lace. Shed encourage me to

make dolls clothes and then dolls, before moving

on to making clothes for myself. An enthusiastic

fan of upcycling, mum taught me how to repair

and alter my growing wardrobe by darning socks,

shortening skirts (this was the Sixties after all!)

and making the ared legs of my jeans even

wider by adding triangular ashes of paisley

fabric to the side seams.

Throughout an extensive career in television,

as both a presenter and actor, sewing was and

still is my relaxation, although nowadays its my

profession as well! Im designing products and

patterns to make your sewing life easier, and fun,

quality fabrics for you to work with.

I am so proud to have been voted Sewing

Designer of the Year in the Immediate Media

British Craft Awards 2017, and for the awards

my books have achieved I dont think even

my mum could have guessed how valuable

those lessons in home sewing

Sixties-style would prove to be!

Acknowledgements

As this book is about all that is vintage

and nostalgic Ive been thinking about

the family members whose creativity I

have been inuenced by. My Grandma

and her little knitted teddies, which I

still have (see below); my Mum with her

sewing, tatting (see below) and beautiful

poetry; her sister, just Auntie, was an

amazing artist; my Dad, whose skills in

mechanics taught me to gure out how

things are made; and nally my sister

Amanda, who is talented in all of the

above! We have a whole new generation

of grandsons and granddaughters

between us now, and I fully intend to

pass on all of these skills!

Contents

Natural fabrics like cotton and linen, embroidery and lace,

silk ribbons and buttons made from shells are some of the

things that remind me of my childhood delving into the

dressing-up box that was kept in the attic, over

owing

with fabrics, scarves and too-big-for-me shoes that made

me feel very grand!

For the projects in this book Ive tried to recreate

those nostalgic times but with a modern twist. Ive used

vintage-inspired fabrics and lace to create purposeful or

decorative items for the home including projects perfect

for an afternoon tea such as a tea cosy (see ), a

cake frill (see ) and a beautiful made-to-measure

tray mat (see ). Ive also included plenty of other

items that youll want to keep for yourself or give as gifts

for example, a sweet clutch bag made from doilies (see

). Finally,

there are a few items that will make for a fantastically

vintage Christmas: a stocking (see ), a wreath

(see ). Use

a in (5mm) seam allowance unless otherwise stated.

Auction websites and charity shops are a good

resource for real vintage lace doilies, beads and buttons,

and many modern fabrics have a vintage look to them.
