Summary

Handmade Home offers simple sewing and craft projects for the home that reflect the needs, activities, and personalities of today's families. Filled with thirty-three projects made by reusing and repurposing materials-from vintage feedsacks to old sheets and towels-and including some projects that children can help with, all of the items here offer a practical use in the home. Amanda Soule does much more than simply present a collection of handmade items; she reveals crafting as a lifestyle based on the principles of consuming less and reusing more, appreciating the earth, and connecting to our families. This is a craft book that gives you the tools for creating a life-and a home-full of beauty, integrity, and joy. Projects include- Papa's Healing Cozy- This hot water bottle cover becomes a simple way to offer comfort to a sick child Baby Sling- A simple pattern for an object that offers so much to a small child-refuge from the world and a place to lay their head next to a parent' heart Beach Blanket To-Go- Repurpose old sheets to create the perfect picnic blanket for special outdoor meals Cozy Wall Pockets- A creative solution for storing a child's small treasures.
