Synopsis

Feel the benefits of sewing by hand for your wellbeing and for the planet, with these mindful and sustainable makes.

Hand sewing is a great way to practise mindfulness through craft. Laura Strutt has designed these 35 projects specially to develop your hand-sewing skills, but also to help you slow down, enjoy the moment, and appreciate the rewards of your work. Using a number of different techniques including visible mending, sashiko, embroidery, thread doodling, boro and abstract embroidery, Laura shows you how to incorporate these methods into making something useful, creative and sustainable. For the home, you can make a boro bowl from scraps of fabric, or adorn a simple cushion cover with an embroidered mandala. From your wardrobe, revive a beanie hat by adding some floral embroidery to the rim, or use sashiko stitching on fabric-covered buttons for a new look. Decorate your home with a floating embroidery design in a hoop, or a simple banner using colourful couching stitches over twisted rope. Think of the planet as you upcycle a blouse with detail stitching and new sleeve trim, or make elbow patches to cover the holes in your favourite sweater. Whichever project you choose, take time to enjoy the process and simply sew.

    In The Women’s Festival, Aristophanes crafts a hilarious and provocative comedy centered on gender conflict, theatrical satire, and religious ritual. The play follows the famous tragedian Euripides, who fears that the women of Athens will punish him at the Thesmophoria, a secret female-only festival honoring Demeter, for his unflattering portrayals of women in his plays. To counter this, he enlists his relative Mnesilochus to disguise himself as a woman and infiltrate the gathering. Chaos erupts when Mnesilochus is discovered, leading to a series of farcical escapes, mistaken identities, and witty parodies of Euripides’ own tragedies. Through sharp dialogue and slapstick humor, Aristophanes critiques both Athenian misogyny and the dramatic arts, offering a bold commentary on gender roles, social customs, and the power of satire in classical Greek society.

    Warm, witty and grounded in the realities of solo travel, it is a confidence-building companion for readers who want to sleep somewhere unfamiliar without feeling abandoned by common sense.

    If it seems like everyone you know is playing Dungeons & Dragons, it's because they are! After nearly five decades, the iconic roleplaying game is more popular than ever. Famous Hollywood actors and directors, therapists, educators, politicians, kids, parents, and grandparents all count themselves as fans. In Welcome to Dragon Talk, hosts of the official D&D podcast Shelly Mazzanoble and Greg Tito and their surprising guests show how this beloved pastime has amassed a diverse, tight-knit following of players who defy stereotypes. 
     
     
      
    Shelly and Greg recount some of their most inspiring interviews and illuminate how their guests use the core tenets of the game in everyday life. An A-list actor defends D&D by baring his soul (and his muscles) on social media. A teacher in a disadvantaged district in Houston creates a D&D club that motivates students to want to read and think analytically. A writer and live-streamer demonstrates how D&D–inspired communication breaks barriers and empowers people of color. Listeners will see why Dungeons & Dragons has remained such a pop culture phenomenon and how it has given this disparate and growing community the inspiration to flourish and spread some in-game magic into the real world.
