Made for You

Description

Create wonderful gifts for your friends and family using your sewing, beading, knitting, crochet, felting and embroidery skills. The projects, from the creative world of Jenny Occleshaw, include upcycling favourite objects such as beads, glass, lace and heirloom materials. Every one of the 50 projects is suitable for experienced crafters and newcomers alike, and are explained using easy to follow instructions. There is something here for everybody.

Jenny started knitting and craft activities very early in life, sustained her through a nursing career and then a stint at Paton's, where she really honed her pattern writing skills and perfected her crocheting under the eagle eye of Lucia Russo. In her spare time Jennie works on her trapeze routine for various cabaret shows and tries to spend as much time as possible with her two little grandchildren who are now the main inspiration for her knitting. She also plays with a string quartet at weddings and other events on a regular basis.
