Swedish Sl jd is a book for anyone who craves making something with their hands

Sl jd is Swedish for handicrafts. But it's so much more than making things with your hands. In Sweden, sl jd 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.

Taking inspiration from this school subject, Kerstin Neum ller 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.

The 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," Neum ller leaves a lot of room for creativity to flourish, and avoids the worst pitfalls.

This 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

This first book in English covering the Swedish subject of Sl jd contains a diverse range of projects suitable for beginners and more experienced crafters alike.
