Homemaker Magazine No.40 Back Issue

Be swept away with our beautiful Valentine’s issue this February. Snuggle up on Carol Smillie’s Laura Ashley upcycled pouffe, get to grips with calligraphy and feel the love with a quick-stitch feel-good banner. Why not craft our romantic bird charms too, perfect to give to your love or a friend, and we’ve got plenty of handy accessories and storage options to sew for an extra stylish kitchen this winter, plus Erika Knight and Nicki Trench’s yarny makes to keep you extra cosy. If you’re in the mood for baking, try James Martin’s sumptuous coffee éclairs, or for those after a gorgeous centrepiece for their afternoon tea, there’s an elegant cupcake bouquet to arrange. If flowers are your thing, we show you how to make an Instagram-worthy dip dyed ribbon to wrap up your blooms, and if that’s not enough to get making, be inspired by our bonus 36-page multi-craft book, packed with exclusive projects to get you sewing, upcycling, crocheting and knitting in one weekend, plus all the workshop info you need to get your New Year going in the craftiest way possible. And that’s not forgetting our brand new Get Thready competition in association with high street shop White Stuff. Enter your own customised patch and have your chance to win a fabulous trip to Italy. With lots of crafty love from Homemaker, Happy Valentine’s Day!
