Craft books: Homemade


This is one of those richly illustrated craft books which makes you want to live in its world. It's a project-led collection of dozens of indoor and outdoor crafts, divided into homey things to make for each season of the year, from summer shell mobiles to winter pomanders. There are endless unusual and inventive projects, like crocheted coat hangers, patchwork wallpapering, button light-pulls and felt flower hair-combs, and it also covers seasonal gardening and cooking, from autumn chutney-making and sloe gin to growing summer salad leaves.
