Less achingly twee floral and more bright 50's retro! Mostly sewing projects with a teeny bit of crochet and hand/machine embroidery. A wide range of things to craft: bibs, bags, doorstops, dust covers. The projects seem easy enough to finish in an evening, but still look sophisticated, and not like you did it in an evening... A good starting point if you're an inexperienced hand crafter.
