A Wendy Ward gift voucher is a perfect gift for anyone who loves to make their own clothes. You can use it for one of her MIY workshops, 1-2-1 sessions, sewing patterns and tools or sewing machine hire. Pop the voucher inside one of Wendy's great books to really surprise someone this Christmas!

For the fun sewer...
We loved Louise Kelly's first book Sew Your Own Dolls, which came out earlier this year. It's a perfect gift for someone who wants to try something a bit different. Although Louise takes you through how to make your own dolls in the book, you can also buy ready made dolls on her Etsy page to make an extra special Christmas present for a special sewer.

Whatever kind of craft you prefer, a scrapbook is always a handy tool to have, plus it's also loads of fun! These beautiful scrapbooks from Paperchase, teamed with some patterned paper would make a lovely gift for anyone. And if you're looking for inspiration, Creative Collage by Clare Youngs is full of ideas and tips to get them started!
You can choose from a whole range of scrapbooks from Paperchase and beautiful paper packs from Hobbycraft, so your gift can be personalised for that special someone.

Drawn to DIY
We loved Hester Van Overbeek's brand new book this year, Made with Salvaged Wood, so it had to be on our gift guide! Full of projects for all skill levels, Hester uses upcycled and reclaimed wood to create stylish and unique items for the home.
We also love these Drawn to DIY posters, featuring step-by-step illustrations for DIY projects by jasmineillustration.com - practical and pretty enough to put on your wall.
