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 for crafts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking inspiration from this school subject, Kerstin Neumüller has compiled 18 different wood and textile projects that include 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe projects rarely require any big purchases or unusual tools, and readers will be guided with clear step-by-step instructions, pictures, and illustrations. With the attitude \"if you think it's good, it's good,\" Neumüller leaves a lot of room for creativity to flourish, and avoids the worst pitfalls. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis first book in English covering the Swedish subject of Slöjd contains a diverse range of projects suitable for beginners and more experienced crafters alike.","brand":"Batsford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45299677724823,"sku":"9781849949569","price":1376.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781849949569.webp?v=1768582203","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/slojd-the-swedish-art-of-wood-and-textile-handicrafts-9781849949569","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
