Making Stuff is a brand new type of craft book for a new generation of people looking to make, rather than buy, the stuff they want. Stand-alone ads in The Guardian before Christmas in the broadsheet, the Weekend Magazine, G2 and The Guide. Over 50 useful, beautiful and outright bizarre ideas are laid out clearly in accessible, step by step instructions, and illustrated using hand-drawing and photography. A section at the beginning explains the basic skills; knitting, sewing crocheting, and felting. Rag rugs, felted mittens, a knitted ipod cover, sock monkeys and a passport holder made out of paint brushes are just a few of the ideas listed in the book. The writing takes an informal, personal approach that is alive with energy and passion. Making Stuff is an inspirational and unique title that will appeal to eco-warriors, designers, young families and creative types alike.
