Synopsis:

Here, at last, is a book which is both a basic guide to craft techniques and a rich treasury of things to make. By concentrating on a dozen of the most popular crafts it treats each of them thoroughly and extensively. There are detailed instructions for over 150 objects, all of which are in colour, ranging from simple, quick designs to more elaborate work. This is a book for people who want to start craft work as well as for those who are already familiar with one or more crafts, but want new designs to make and new crafts to explore. Needlepoint, knitting, crochet, sewing, embroidery and macramé are all included; as are candlemaking, printing, woodwork and rug making. Jewellery and collage work are featured in the chapter on beads, seeds and shells. Throughout, the emphasis is on good design and clear instructions.

The Bookworms Mission:

We strive to reduce unnecessary landfill by taking used books, second-hand books, paperback books, hardback books, pre-loved books, great reads and recycled books and then redistributing them throughout New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world. Readers can connect online with book titles, helping them find new homes, and support reusing and re-loving books that are affordable. At Bookworms you’ll find cheap books, hidden gems and even some lost treasures. We have a passion for sustainability, being eco-friendly, eco-conscious and we aim to incorporate that into all that we do.
