Handmade HM—01

Knitting with needles

You knit your first finished thing in the very first module, and the last one is a hat worked out to your own measurements. Every technique is broken into steps with the stitch count and checks against a swatch: at any moment you can see where you are and what went wrong.

Handmade HM—02

Cross stitch

Counted embroidery is a craft built like text: you work from a chart, square by square, and you can always check yourself by counting. We learn to read charts and lay even crosses, and finish with a sampler that goes on the wall.

Handmade HM—03

Needle and thread

Hem a pair of trousers, sew a button on so it never comes off again, put on a patch you need not be ashamed of. A course about hand stitches and looking after clothes; at the end — a shopper bag sewn entirely by hand, from cutting out to the handles.

Handmade HM—04

Bread at home

Bread from four things: flour, water, salt and time. We bake the first loaf in the very first module, then raise a starter and go through every stage by measurable signs of readiness. The end is a recipe that repeats itself from bake to bake.
