Handmade Home -Simple Ways to Repurpose Old Materials into New Family Treasures
by Amanda Blake Soule
Trumpeter Books
This book will make a beautiful and practical gift for people who love craft, love to limit their consumption or both. Amanda Blake Soule has combined her love of handwork and family along with the desire to consume less. There are 30 projects that will make beautiful gifts for others or add a comfortable relaxed feel to your own home.
Handmade Home follows Soule’s first book of craft, The Creative Family, and has the same beautiful photography that inspires the reader to make every project but maybe not right away. First you will be lost in the beauty of the book, secondly you will have to decide which project to make first, which is not easy.
The book is a mix of necessary items - cloth diapers, mouse pads, sweater hats, items that will quickly become family favourites-picnic blankets, water bottle covers and things that can create lasting family memories. The projects vary in difficulty so there is something for everyone from the very young (or inexperienced) to the seasoned sewer.
You can read Amanda’s blog here.
