+ Want to read

Following up on an earlier collection of quick handmade presents, this book offers thirty projects that can be finished in a short time. Some are sewn by hand, some on a sewing machine, and some need no sewing at all. Ideas include notebooks wrapped in fabric, a scarf dyed with tea and decorated with sequins, and a small quilt for a new baby. The instructions are written for makers who need a thoughtful gift on short notice.
