Making Beautiful Things – A Craft & Sewing Planner – signed copy

£16.99

Do you always have the best of intentions to make gifts for your friends and family but never really get round to it?

Perhaps you’d love to have a handmade wardrobe but it’s all too easy to pop to the High Street?

I bet when you make it there that you are never truly happy with the items you buy though. The same goes for gifts!

This planner will help you not only plan for ‘who’ you are making for, but ‘what’ you are making and exactly how you will go about it.

Description

Claire Mackaness is a craft & sewing tutor based in the UK. She created this journal following feedback from pupils she has taught over the years, both in-person and online.

When asked why they are not getting around to starting or sometimes finishing projects that they truly wish to make. The main reason tends to be that they don’t have time. Or that they procrastinate over what they are going to make and how.

Over the last few years Claire has developed a unique planning process to her creative pursuits that allows her to break project ideas down into bitesize chunks, plan for for who and what she’s going to make and most importantly achieve results.

She is delighted to be sharing her methods with you in the form of this planner.

We have made the decision to no longer stock print We have made the decision to no longer stock printed patterns and focus on using our wonderful A0 printer (Colin the Canon).

We have a small stock of Tilly & The Buttons printed patterns in stock at the moment and have therefore reduced them all on the website by 25%

If you are a printed pattern fan and like a good old instruction book then grab yourself a bargain before they are all gone.
