"If you have just bought your first digital die-cutter or already own one and are looking for fresh ideas and new techniques for the milestone events in your year, or your life, then this is the book for you! Digital die-cutting machines are the ultimate creative tool for crafters, and these days it's almost too easy to customize an event to your liking! But if you do need a little extra inspiration or assistance, this book provides a simple, step-by-step guide to using your Cricut machine (here, primarily a Maker 3) to make 33 amazing projects. This book plunges straight into the makes, which are themed around six life- or year-events that need no excuse for a celebration, from the arrival of a new baby to holiday season (Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and of course Christmas). The projects offer an exciting array of ideas and designs that will really spark your imagination, and all come with clear instructions and photos, plus free downloadable SVG files for every project. Cricut machines work in conjunction with myriad materials, and the book gives you ideas for how to create stunning event embellishments in basswood, acrylic, traditional card and paper, as well as how to add an etched effect to a glass tea light. You can even use a pyrography tool alongside cut stencils to create bespoke wooden cubes for a baby."--

"Hand sewing is a great way to practice mindfulness through craft. Laura Strutt has designed these 35 projects specially to develop your hand-sewing skills, but also to help you slow down, enjoy the moment, and appreciate the rewards of your work. Using a number of different techniques including visible mending, sashiko, embroidery, thread doodling, boro, and abstract embroidery, Laura shows you how to incorporate these methods into making something useful, creative, and sustainable. For the home, you can make a boro bowl from scraps of fabric, or adorn a simple cushion cover with an embroidered mandala. From your closet, revive a beanie hat by adding some floral embroidery to the rim, or use sashiko stitching on fabric-covered buttons for a new look. Decorate your home with a floating embroidery design in a hoop, or a simple banner using colourful couching stitches over twisted rope. Think of the planet as you upcycle a blouse with detail stitching and new sleeve trim, or make elbow patches to cover the holes in your favorite sweater. Whichever project you choose, take time to enjoy the process and simply sew."--
