Synopsis

Elspeth Jackson shows how a few basic tools and straightforward techniques can transform old, well-loved garments into practical and decorative pieces, including rugs, cushions, artworks, bags and gifts. The book opens with a comprehensive guide to fabric choices, essential tools and core methods, before moving into three project chapters: Home, Gifts and Seasonal.

Projects range from easy rugs in varied colours and styles to a shaggy pillow, draught excluder, wall hanging and chalkboard frame, alongside gift ideas such as a clutch bag, flower hair clips and a brooch. Seasonal makes include decorations for key moments in the year, from a Valentine’s heart to a spring wreath and Christmas baubles, supported by clear step-by-step instructions and colour photography for crafters of all ages.
