Nothing compares with the pleasure and satisfaction of making something yourself, and for years the Irish Countrywomen's Association has been at the forefront of Irish craft.

From making your own jewellery and embroidered cushions, to crochet hats and handmade Christmas decorations, 'The ICA Book of Craft' contains 40 practical projects to inspire you to have a go. Many of the ideas are simple enough to be tackled by beginners; some are more of a labour of love.

Collected from ICA members around the country and captured in beautiful, atmospheric photographs, the projects in this book show you how to make jewellery, soft furnishings, clothing and festive decorations with a personal touch and a home-made flavour.
