I have written a book called Threads of Life to explore the power of sewing and why somany of its stories have been forgotten, so much of its history overlooked. The book's chapters follow some of thethemes of the Sewing Matters website in a patchwork of memoir, research and reflection. It will be published by Sceptre, an imprint of Hodder & Stoughton, on 7th February 2019 and is availableto pre-order on Amazon. I hope its readers will find Threads of Life an entertaining and illuminating bookwhich even captivates those with no interest in sewing.
