Description
Through easy-to-follow tutorials for approximately 100 projects that are both accessible and aspirational, Rose and Erin invite readers to take a toe-dip into simple, time-honoured craft traditions. The projects celebrate the satisfaction that comes from slowly and carefully crafting something oneself. Example projects include Fabric Scrap Bunting, Cloth Checkerboards, and Sewn Cardboard Toys.
Requiring little to no skill, and no special equipment, Making Things is the crafting book for all skill levels.
'This book teaches the reader how to make all kinds of beautiful things, but also how to make meaning. It is an antidote to the alienation created by a life of screens, reminding us that we have bodies, and preferences, and are more able than we've grown to believe.' - Jonathan Safran Foer, author of, Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
