presents a collection of gorgeous gifts, soft furnishings, kitchen
items, bags, clothes and accessories to make and embroider. Fans of
the clean, elegant lines of traditional Scandinavian style are sure
to be inspired by the 35 sewing projects in this book, which fuse
classic Scandi motifs including hearts, flowers and birds with
contemporary techniques and materials. Arranged into five chapters,
the projects use a wide variety of fabrics: there are adorable
fleece and felt baby bootees finished with French knots, a classic
gingham curtain tie-back and a striped machine-embroidered apron.
Progress through the projects and learn a range of sewing
techniques, including appliqué, cut work, patchwork, decorative
machine stitching, shadow work and ribbon work. Simple stitches
such as herringbone, cross stitch, French knots and daisy stitch
are also used to great effect. Simplicity is at the heart of
Clare’s designs, and the clear instructions and step-by-step
artworks mean anyone can have a go. You will be surprised how
quickly beautiful pieces can be made.

In today’s busy world, it can be difficult to find time to slow
down and make time for the simple joy of making, so Clare Youngs
has designed a wide range of beautiful and tempting projects to
help you experience the pleasure and satisfaction that making
something with your own hands can bring. The best thing about
practising mindfulness through craft is that you have something
tangible to show at the end, and you can start small with the coral
reef-inspired embroidery hoops, or just by making pompoms and
tassels to be added to the edge of a cushion or blanket. You can
learn techniques such as block printing, punch needling, shibori
dyeing, weaving, macramé and quilting, all of which encourage a
mindful approach, and a way to experience a feeling of 'flow'. Make
unique things for yourself and your home, using natural materials
such as wool, cotton, linen and leather. Clare is a believer in
making new things from old, using what you have and adapting old
fabrics to counteract a throwaway society, and all her designs have
a Scandinavian-inspired, modern aesthetic.

Discover how to make creative, personal collages with advice,
techniques and projects from craft author and graphic designer
Clare Youngs. We are all born with an inner desire to express
ourselves. Making collages, especially in the form of art journals,
gives you an opportunity to express thoughts, feelings and wishes
and to capture memories. It is a way of collating and putting
thoughts in order. You can look back at filled pages with a real
sense of accomplishment. Most of all it is fun! In Creative
Collage, Clare Youngs reveals the secrets of collaging, one of her
favourite crafts. Learn about the kinds of paper you can use, such
as maps, tickets, photographs, typography and magazine pages, and
how to add texture, use layering and make use of geometric designs.
Some of Clare's amazing collages are included for inspiration, and
she explains how she chose the materials and composition for each
one. Clare then presents a collection of projects that offer unique
ways to display your collages and even make 3-D collages, such as a
decoupaged chest of drawers and a family photo wooden block house.
Along with helpful prompts to give you ideas for collages, such as
‘something you saw on a walk’ or ‘a happy memory’, this
book provides all you need to get started with this personal,
expressive craft.
