With simple instructions and step-by-step diagrams including charts and templates, the Arcturus Craft Workbooks series are highly accessible and practical guides designed with the absolute beginner in mind, but also suited to those who would welcome a refresher in these most popular crafts. The crafts covered in this series are timeless, creative and rewarding. They have seen a recent surge in popularity as people look to save pennies and return to a more traditional 'make do and mend' outlook on life. Each book includes specific projects for readers to get stuck into, with straightforward instructions and large, clear illustrations. With a section about choosing the right equipment, glossary of terms and abbreviations and even a section on aftercare of your handmade products - as well as including both UK and US terminology - this is the perfect starter series that caters for all. Titles in this series: Beading, Cross Stitch, Embroidery, Knitting & Crochet, Patchwork, Quilting & Appliqué, Sewing, Soft Toys
