Seams To Me by Anna Maria Horner claims to have "24 new reasons to love sewing", and flipping through the kitschy and colourful project pages, I can see why.
In the "sewing school" section you will learn all kinds of sewing techniques, such as piping, gathering and seaming. Once you've filled your brain with all the necessary knowledge, the real fun begins and you can move on to the projects section.
Make yourself a super handy and multi-functional Pin Cushion Caddy, a patchwork-inspired I'll Have One Of Everything Bag or an adorable Bo Peep Skirt and For Kicks Patchwork Ball for young-ones to play with.
Including 10 original patterns to use, this is the perfect book for adding a bit of homely charm to your decor.
You can pick up a copy of the book from Wiley or Amazon now.
This skeleton, made from melted cassette tapes looks amazing and would be fantastic for Halloween next year. Another reason to upgrade your old music collection.

Knitwear designer Nicky Epstein takes inspiration from around the globe in her new pattern book, Knitting On Top Of The World.
Categorized by country, the book includes 50 unique patterns, which are both elegant and practical. Wrap up in a starlet-inspired Roman Holiday Shrug, stand out in a Highland Fling Plaid Jacket or dress up for the occasion with a formal Evening Gala Aran top. There's even a range of accessories, such as a Shanghai Garden Scarf, Petite Fancy Fair Isle tea cozy and a Great Plains Blanket Bag.
The thing I like best about this book is that it focuses more on the patterns than the techniques - after all how many knitting books do you need which tell you exactly the same thing?! So, bring some hand-knitted couture to your wardrobe and stay stylish and warm this Christmas.
Pick up a copy of the book from The GMC Group or Amazon now.
