[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I really enjoy making cakes and I was delighted to receive a copy of Make Your Own Cake Toppers. This book had colourful photographs that encouraged me to try this out for myself. There were detailed instructions of the ingredients and tools I needed and tips on how to achieve the best results. I’m really looking forward to choosing a design for my next project.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars This is a very interesting book! I've never thought about making my own natural dyes and didn't realise the wonderful colours you could get from the most mundane things such as onion skin! There are clear instructions, plenty of photos and 'recipes', if you want to try making your own dye using food scraps/ingredients then this is the perfect book to try it!

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars An absolutely perfect book for people wanting to learn how to needle felt. The book is written by a uk based author and includes uk based stockists. The book has fabulous step by step instructions and plenty of coloured photos, taking you from simple flat shapes such as hearts (which you could use to make bunting) right through to cats, snowmen,, penguins, fairies, witches and beyond. I will be happily working my way through this book - highly recommended if you are looking at starting this addictive hobby!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I really get excited to see young people practicing some old arts and crafts. However this time I’m intrigued as well as the author covers embroider, but from a machine focus. I’m more an old school gala and sew by hand, but I really enjoyed reading this book and seeing her process for creating and sewing on a machine. Definitely some could designs and a lot of heart went into this book. Give it a read and see for yourself.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars This would be a superlative choice for public or school library acquisition, maker's groups, fibrecrafts groups, activity groups, pension homes and similar. The projects range in difficulty but none are beyond the scope of a keen amateur. I was impressed how cute the hair scrunchies turned out and it's a really great pattern for using up tiny scraps of yarn which we all seem to collect.
