Sewing is the new going out. Decoupage is the new designer wallcovering. Reusing old fabrics to make patchwork is the new black… However you want to put it, craft is back in a big, big way. And just in time, too - with the credit crunch affecting us all, we’re all looking at ways of making our homes not just a retreat from the harshness of the world, but a cheap, or at least affordable, retreat at that. Bang on cue, enter our favourite homemaker, Kirstie Allsopp, whose new show Kirstie’s Homemade Home, starts in April. She’ll be tackling all sorts of projects, from making cushions and revamping lampshades to buying furniture at auction, as she decorates a house from top to bottom over the course of the series. Better still, we’ll be featuring each episode in detail, and we’ve got tons and tons of fabulous ideas, advice and inspiration lined up to help you turn your house into a home – on a budget. Plus, we’ll show you how to complete your own craft projects in Kirstie’s step by step DIY How Tos. Watch this space.
