With a stretch of free time ahead, we can embark on new projects. The best weekends come to a close with something handmade to enjoy. Therein lies the magic of Weekend Handmade: Each project in it—from aprons, tablecloths, and marmalade to a memory box and a chandelier—can be completed in a few hours or over the course of a weekend, and is easily achievable by the average crafty dabbler. The projects in this book are divided into three chapters: Make (paper and textile crafts), Grow (crafts related to the outdoors), and Gather (projects that bring friends and family together in an atmosphere where creativity and coziness trump fancy courses and matching silverware).
