Beautiful ragwork - Lizzie Reakes

Using a range of recycled materials from nylon, cotton, lycra and crimplene to plastic bags, Lizzie Reakes has created twenty four exciting and original projects for you to recreate at home. From a classic heart rug to a child's activity mat, a sentimental sampler to a muslin curtain and from a chair seat to a funky 70's-style shoulder bag, her designs have a wit and originality that will inspire even the most reluctant needlecrafter to reach for their canvas.

Each project is explained with clear step-by-step photographs and there are templates for over twelve of the designs. With its extensive guide to choosing materials and making the best use of colour, pattern and texture, this is the ideal book for every ragwork enthusiast.
