Sew Your Own What happens when a man, dazzled by hi-tech, happy to have his suits made by robots and his daily chores out-sourced to Bangalore, sets out to find the meaning of life? John-Paul Flintoff's improbable and very funny book charts a journey through call centres and allotments, rat-catching and Savile Row tailors. He talks Zen Buddhism with Richard Gere and custard pies with Jeremy Clarkson, paints with Billy Childish, goes refuse collecting, and finally learns to crochet in public. The results are comic, heartwarming and inspiring. “Very funny, I hope it does well” – Jane Garvey, Woman’s Hour “Meet the man who made his underpants from nettles” – Mary Ann Sieghart, BBC World Service "I couldn’t put it down. It was moving and utterly brilliant” – Rachael Matthews, Cast Off “Wonderful, amazing, funny and warm! And inspiring!” Tom Hodgkinson, author of How To Be Free “Accessible, funny, well researched, and an inspiring pleasure to read” – The Ecologist
