This wall hanging has a lovely naive folk-art quality. The scene, in fresh spring colors, is filled with birds flitting about and perched in the trees, with flowers and grasses embroidered beneath them. The techniques used include freezer paper applique, making appliqued stems for branches, easy machine stitching and quilting and some fun hand embroidery using thread and silk ribbon.

Eddie the Elephant is a gentle giant. He has big flapping ears to hear even the tiniest of sounds, but that doesn’t stop him from getting scared. The naughty little mice always try to make him jump, and when an elephant jumps, everyone knows! Eddie’s ears and feet are lined with pretty scraps of fabric, and his tail is made from a crocheted chain. Purl ridges make the wrinkles in his trunk.

This is a great bag for a hot summer’s day. The vivid colours zing against each other, and the sewed-on leaves add a pleasing three-dimensional touch. The stylish flare shape is created by decreasing the sides and bamboo rings are attached for added impact. Knitted in ever-versatile cotton yarn, this bag is robust enough to take on the beach, and smart and sassy enough to take to summer garden parties.

What better way to keep ice-cold lemonades and fruit juices safe from pesky insects than crochet covers in acid lime green, clementine orange or the hue of homemade lemon squash? This project is also a great way to start working with beads. The pattern has been adapted with four designs, each using different sizes and styles of beads.

Cats are well-known for their curiosity, but giraffes? This pretty, prancing giraffe certainly has an inquisitive side to her nature, although she can be a bit jumpy and bound off if things go horribly wrong as a consequence of her investigations. Simple gathering is used to good effect here in creating Gerbera’s frilly mane and attractively shaped ears. She may be spotted like her wild cousins, but her cover is easily blown with her coat of a heady mix of bright colours and patterns.

Red and white samplers have been popular throughout sampler history, sometimes used to practise marking linen for future seamstresses and sometimes purely for decoration. Helen Philipps' own red and white home sampler is a more contemporary take on the Antique French style, with ultra-white linen, a white frame and buttons. It has a contemporary look but the old French influences are still there.

This elegant seed bead necklace, inspired by a 1930s example, was complicated to design but is actually extremely easy to make. The bead loops are simply added one at a time.

These cute cookie-shaped toys make lovely decorations for the kitchen at any time of year. You could make Mr and Mrs Gingerbread, as shown here, or make a whole family and decorate each one in a slightly different way by using a variety of ribbons and other embellishments. You could also make padded gingerbread hearts and stars from the same linen to match the gingerbread family.

From The Bag Making Bible by Lisa LamHalf the fun of making this cheerful bag is choosing three fabrics that all look fabulous together. Once you have chosen the fabrics you’ll find this bag just kind of makes itself! The more you piece it together (like a colorful jigsaw) the more you’ll want to see the yummy finished result. Pop a pretty fabric flower onto the button closure for an extra touch of cuteness.
