In Sewing Projects we have a pretty rhododendron bag, the patternless kimono which is such a firm favourite as well as a crafty picnic cloth that goes so well with the awesome awning and quick gardening gloves! Take a look in the How-to section for tips on creative makeovers and timely sewing advice and of course, if you are looking for a good read - check out the Book reviews.
