Sew Witchy: Tools, Techniques & Projects for Sewing Magick

Part grimoire, part craft book, this work enhances the creative process of sewing with magickal intention using every scrap of fabric, color of thread, and sewist’s tool. Henderson shares her knowledge of both sewing and witchcraft in a breezy style explaining the correspondences between the tools of witchcraft and the tools of sewing. Included are magickal alphabets for embroidery, thread color meanings and uses, tips for creating a sacred space to sew, inviting a house sprite to assist with projects, and a complete chapter of sewing spells. More mundane practical advice cites managing tools, laundering, sewing techniques, and basic embroidery stitches. The last half is dedicated to fun projects, from the very simple to the more complex, to create magickal artifacts. Pleasing photographs and clear diagrams inspire while increasing understanding of the instructions. Appendix includes patterns.
