Product Description
The crafty Pip Lincolne is back with her third book of sweet and whimsical projects. In Make Hey While the Sun Shines, she shows you 20 gorgeous things to make whatever your craftiness! There are bike-seat covers made from vintage fabric, crocheted baubles to decorate your house (or car!), hand-printed gift bags and pretty decals to customise plates or mugs. More adventurous crafters might like to try the deer quilt (in either couch or cot size) or the handy bottle tote to store your drinks when you head out for the day. Making hey isn t just about sewing and craft though there are also 5 pull-out recipe cards with delicious goodies to take on a picnic or just enjoy at home. All of the projects have step-by-step instructions and illustrations to guide you through, and with comprehensive sections on sewing, crochet and knitting basics, Make Hey While the Sun Shines is perfect for anyone who is interested in handmaking their own beautiful things.
About the Author
Pip Lincolne grew up in a DIY family. Her dad sewed her lovely dresses; her mum made her orange sorbet; her brother fashioned little houses for her dolls; her sister drew and her nanna knitted, sewed, baked ... you name it! Raised on such handmade fare, there was never any doubt that a crafty life lay ahead. Pip lives above her popular craft store Meet Me at Mike s, in Melbourne s Fitzroy, with her lovely family. Make Hey While the Sun Shines is her third book, following on from the success of Meet Me at Mike s and Sew La Tea Do.

Format:Hardcover
The craft ideas don't measure up to the quality and originality available on craft blogs and through places like Flickr, Etsy, Ravelry etc. And other craft books.
It's a dandy package, pattern pieces and vintage-vibe book/page design/photography and golly-gosh breathlessly-girlish prose style. But it's like that's all trying to distract you from the craft designs.
I doubt I'll buy another in this series. I've been crafting since childhood, more expertly at some crafts than others and I've made nothing from any of these books, and have been exasperated more often than delighted.
If you've never done any craft, you may find these books fresh and new.
I was also hugely disappointed that the author recently asked her blog readers (hardly likely to be an 'unhappy' campers or an unbiased group), to add to the reviews here, as there were some 'unhappy' ones here. Poor form, IMHO. Thus the final choice of one star.

I was expecting a book filled with crafts to do at home - like Pip's other books. I was really disappointed - it is mainly full of lovely photographs - lacks crafting content!

Pip's inviting and chatty style continues - it grabs you and involves you from the word go. The projects suit everyone from beginners to expert crafters and the photography and design is lovely. I love this book and use it regularly to make gifts for friends. I highly recommend it!

Disappointing
This was a real disappointment, not a single craft idea in here inspired me to get making at all which is a first in a craft book!

A google search is cheaper
I thought this would be on par with Pip Lincolne's first book, Meet Me at Mikes. But alas, no.
The projects are not as awe inspiring as I had hoped. Read more

great projects for all round crafters
I love books that provide pattens in pockets and are spiral bound, so that they lie flat when you are crafting - and this book does both. Read more
