Inside:
Across three chapters - Needle and Thread, Unravelling and Glitches and Patches - the new MacGuffin turns its attention to the humble stitch.
Inside you'll find examples of traditional and contemporary stitches, the exploitation and collective defiance lurking behind industrially sewn garments, needlepoint that challenged gender norms ion '70s America, the resilience and identity stitched into the traditional Romanian blouse, and the resonance and timelessness of the Bronze Age Bog Pattern.
Elsewhere - a guide to basic bookbinding, the Palestinian hand embroidery that has transformed into a global symbol of identity and resistance, a salute to the hardworking seam, the radical power of quilting and the evolution of darning.
Expect:
