Summary
Bonus material: Authors John Scott and Sarah Rayner chat about sewing, needlecraft, mindfulness, and mental health
John Scott has lived a varied life, but whether it's behind the scenes of a regional theatre, working on costumes for Hollywood movies such as Interview with a Vampire or Four Weddings and a Funeral or presenting TV shows like This Morning with Richard and Judy, his love of sewing and the humble needle and thread has run, like a rich seam, through everything he does. As a costume supervisor, stylist, fashion guru and lead expert on Sewing TV, John has gained a catalogue of unrivalled expertise and here he weaves together his knowledge of sewing, quilting and fashion with eclectic stories from his extraordinary career. Just like a cozy quilt, this book wraps you in John's wonderful world.
You can listen from start to finish or search through the sections for advice on a specific sewing dilemma, a hilarious tale about mixing with the mega stars or one of his favorite recipes. Memories and mantras, tips on dry cleaning, explanations of laundry symbols and sewing-machine feet—John Scott's Threads of Life is, just like its author, completely unique. Never has a book on sewing been so practical and entertaining. You'll learn as you listen and have fun doing so, as John's voice sings as he reads. If you love John Scott, you will love this book. If you've yet to discover his wit and wisdom, you are in for a treat!

interesting and informative
Loved the format of this book. Interesting life stories interspersed with useful facts. John is best in the interview scenarios rather than reading. He needs to relax the tone a little to make it more natural prose than read out.
