Chapter 3, Today I'm Wearing...shows you how to make the perfect pretty-and-practical apron, as well as an embellished collar to liven up plain tops and a patchwork coat for your pooch. Finally, in chapter 4, I Like to Make..., discover a knitter's bucket bag, needle roll, pincushion and more. Stylish artworks alongside this eclectic collection of makes will inspire you to pick up a needle and thread and create something that's both individual and beautiful.
