With 35 projects that you'll love to make and a helpful techniques
section, this book will teach you all about sewing machines. Start
out with Clothes and Accessories, where you can make a felt collar
and cosy scarf, as well as a pretty skirt. Then try one of the Bags
and Cases, such as a cute bobble-trim coin purse, an MP3 player
case and even a sleepover bag. Transform your room with Things for
Your Room - the wall tidy looks great and gives you somewhere to
store all your bits and pieces, and you can brighten up your
bedding with a patchwork quilt. Finally, why not have a go at the
Toys and Games? Make a rag doll, and then clothes for it, too, to
get a feel for dressmaking, or create a fabric games board for
playing draughts and chess. Every project has step-by-step artworks
to guide you, plus a skill level so you can start with easy items
and move on to more challenging things as you get better at using
your machine.

with a wealth of activities to extend the range of excitingly messy
activities for your Messy Church - creative prayers, games, food
crafts, and ideas for organising an Easter trail. Craft templates
and a session planning grid are included. Messy Church is a way of
being church, for families and others. It is Christ-centred, for
all ages, and based on creativity, hospitality and celebration. It
is primarily designed for people who don't already belong to
another form of church - no matter how 'messy' they feel their
lives are. Research has shown that 40% of Messy Church families
have had little or no prior contact with church and 61% of Messy
Church families wouldn't otherwise be at church. BRF supports a
global network of around 4,000 Messy Churches in six continents.
