Handy Work
Whether it’s stitching, baking, fixing, creating, knitting, building or making, Doing It Yourself is all the rage,” says Chloe Fox in this month’s British Vogue. “What shopping was to the Nineties, crafting is to the Noughties.”
There’s a new craft venue in town that’ll help you master your way to a thriftier, happier and more creative you. Bluebird Handmade is a lovely, creative space where children and adults can gather to knit, felt, weave and spin.
Turn up to your next baby shower with handmade cashmere booties, monogram your man’s socks or reinvent on old blazer with shiny, new buttons.
Before you know it, you’ll be hosting knitting parties, crocheting tea cozies and baking cupcakes for the local bazaar.
