But it’s so much more than making things with your hands. In Sweden, slöjd is a compulsory subject taught to all schoolchildren. From a young age, they work with textiles and wood not only to develop their creativity, but also to learn fine motor skills and problem solving – often leading to a lifelong love and appreciation of crafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her new book, Kerstin Neumüller introduces the concept of slöjd through 18 wood and textile projects. Here's everything from learning how to sew a cap, dye yarn with birch leaves, carve a peg rail, sew a patchwork quilt and mend your jeans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe projects rarely require any big purchases or unusual tools, and you will be guided with clear step-by-step instructions, pictures and illustrations. With the attitude ‘if you think it’s good, it’s good’, Kerstin leaves a lot of room for your own creativity to flourish, while she also helps you avoid the worst pitfalls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is suitable both for beginners itching to get started and for those who already know that handicrafts are the most enjoyable hobby you can have!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kerstin Neumuller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64838798770525,"sku":"9781849949569","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1074\/9358\/9341\/files\/9781849949569.jpg?v=1780056727","url":"https:\/\/adventureintobooks.co.uk\/products\/9781849949569","provider":"Adventure Into Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
