Designer and stylist Sania Pell provides 50 inspirational yet easy projects for you to make, all for next to nothing. Turn basic white bed linen into something special by adding ribbon borders and embroidered panels, and update lampshades by recovering with fabric or paper. Give old wooden furniture a facelift by repainting and adding paper collage decoration. Recycle glass jars into stylish tealight holders, and use old teacups as pretty plant holders. Create family heirlooms by framing special pieces of children's clothing, or display tiny treasures in wooden box frames. Make appliquéed cushion covers and cosy scarves, and use the contents of your button box to revamp an old cardigan. With easy-to-follow instructions and artworks, The Homemade Home will inspire you to get out the paintbrushes and dust off the sewing machine, and create a truly stylish and individual home. As featured in Elle Decoration, Selvedge, The Mail on Sunday, Good Homes, Country Living, Sainsbury's Magazine, Scotland on Sunday and many more.

i bought this and have already made a sock toy for my daughter (a cat), it is such a hit my son wants one too, some great projects which are clearly explained for a novice (aka me) and some more challenging stuff for later. The pictures are gorgeous and its really easy to follow, very pleased with it.The Homemade Home

This a lovely book - streets ahead of others of its type in terms of stylishness and originality. It contains a good mix of more complicated projects and easier "quick ideas". There should be something for everyone. Highly recommended.

This is a book I will refer back to for years to come!
