Making Things
Through easy-to-follow tutorials for over 100 projects that are both accessible and aspirational, Making Things invites readers to try their hands at a variety of crafts and celebrate the satisfaction that comes from slowly and carefully creating for oneself. Learn to fold magazine pages into Masu Boxes for organizing bits and bobs, make a cardboard loom for weaving potholders out of old linens, braid your own Kumihimo Dog Leash, or starch fabric scraps for decorative bunting.
As Making Things demonstrates, relying on a limited range of supplies and repurposing the same materials can spur our creativity, encouraging us to look at a pile of junk on a stoop and see endless possibilities.
Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. To learn how mending and repairing your clothes contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle and contributes to the slow fashion movement, we invite you to read our "Make it Do: Sewing & Mending a More Sustainable Lifestyle" blog.
