Review of 'Make Hey While the Sun Shines' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Borrowed from the library. A cute-looking book, but none of the projects really grabbed me enough to make them.
Here's a list of the projects (they've all got cute titles in the book):
Homemade flag banner
Printed paper gift bags
Knitted finger puppets
Bike seat cover
Knitted bunting
Patchwork cushion
Tote bag with hand-drawn slogan
Paper wall decorations
Quilted blankets
Knitted necklace pendant
Fabric wall pockets
Fancy tape
Piggy-back toy monkey
DIY painted ceramic plates
Crocheted tortoise toy
Wine bottle totes
Decoupage seat
Embroidered napkins
Chessboard tote
Crocheted baubles
The how-tos could be useful; they include a stitch library, sewing basics and glossary, and introductions knitting and crocheting.
At the end are a few recipes, plus lists of books, music, tv shows and other media that the author found inspiration in.
