<b><i>Piece by Piece: 20 modern patchwork and quilting projects to make from preloved fabrics</i> is a hands-on craft book complete with patterns, tutorials and projects that use a mix of quilting, patchwork and applique. Designer, maker and founder of textile studio Working Cloth, Lauren MacDonald shares her enthusiasm for and knowledge of quilting with approachable warmth and humour in this indispensable guide to modern patchwork and quilting.</b><br/><br/> A homage to tradition with a contemporary aesthetic, <i>Piece by Piece</i> offers heritage quilt patterns in a fresh, modern colour palette. The 20 projects, all designed to be made with second-hand fabrics and scraps from other projects, are simple enough for the beginner and advanced enough to keep experienced makers interested. Each of the three sections - kids and baby, homewares, and clothing and accessories - is organised in a skill-building sequence, with smaller, simpler projects at the beginning and more challenging ones towards the end. Beautifully illustrated, the step-by-step guides detail how to make a kid's and women's jacket, quilts, cushions and bolsters, a patchwork party hat and teddy bear, and more. <br/><br/> A manual to be treasured and leafed through for years to come, <i>Piece by Piece</i> encourages you to repurpose and reuse - a practice quilters have been following for centuries that now feels both timeless and timely.

<b><i>52 Weeks of Accessories</i> is a beautiful collection of 52 patterns to create cosy accessories and was created by 48 international designers.</b><br/><br/><i>52 Weeks of Accessories</i> is a great companion for those who love knitting hats, shawls, socks and mittens, but also includes some more fashion-forward projects like cowls, hoods, headbands and bags. <br/><br/> The projects range in suitability from beginners to experienced knitters, and feature an array of techniques including cables and colourwork, as well as simpler stitches. Thanks to their small size, accessories are the perfect starting point for those interested in trying out knitting and playing with yarn.
