false 6166346 1 <i>Handmade Home </i>offers simple sewing and craft projects for the home that reflect the needs, activities, and personalities of today’s families. Filled with thirty-three projects made by reusing and repurposing materials—from vintage feedsacks to old sheets and towels—and including some projects that children can help with, all of the items here offer a practical use in the home. Amanda Soule does much more than simply present a collection of handmade items; she reveals crafting as a lifestyle based on the principles of consuming less and reusing more, appreciating the earth, and connecting to our families. This is a craft book that gives you the tools for creating a life—and a home—full of beauty, integrity, and joy. <br>Projects include:<br> Papa’s Healing Cozy: This hot water bottle cover becomes a simple way to offer comfort to a sick child<br> Baby Sling: A simple pattern for an object that offers so much to a small child—refuge from the world and a place to lay their head next to a parent’ heart<br> Beach Blanket To-Go: Repurpose old sheets to create the perfect picnic blanket for special outdoor meals<br> Cozy Wall Pockets: A creative solution for storing a child's small treasures. 6345734 11 8 2009 Handmade Home: Simple Ways to Repurpose Old Materials into New Family Treasures total:93|5:34|4:46|3:13|2:0|1:0| 93 393 301 29 4 0 false false Sun Aug 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 15:19:01 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 22:48:09 -0700 2009
