Sew La Tea Do includes 24 delightful new crafty projects to try for yourself, your home and your family.

Pip would also love everyone to know that she is currently running Meet me and Mike's annual 'Softies for Mirabel' event - if you are handy with a sewing machine, crochet hook or knitting needle you should pop over here and learn a bit more about how you can make a cheerful handcrafted softie for a very special kid through the Mirabel Foundation!
