Lagom &aauml;r b&aauml;st, or "The right amount is best"-- a Swedish philosophy that fosters the concept of living a simple and more balanced lifestyle.

Each design is accompanied by step-by-step instructions and photos, along with tips and techniques that'll give your creations a professional finish; corresponding templates and patterns have also been provided at the end of your book, which you can easily fold away into the back-cover pocket.

Achieving a state of Scandinavian equilibrium and happiness has never been easier, so sit back, pick your needles and thread, and detox your mind and home with this stunning array of folk-style pieces that you'll treasure and share now, and in times to come.

Author Biography

Debbie has been involved in writing and the craft world for pretty much all of her life but in 1997 she made it into a profession, qualifying formally in journalism and writing patterns and a couple of columns for magazines and newspapers across four continents. She is inspired by nature, travel and history, ancient worlds, steampunk or just a walk in the woods. You name it. She writes about so much more than craft - she loves travel writing, photography and just simply commenting about some of the ridiculous things that happen in our lives.

Writing has led her through the world of teaching, and she has written more craft pattern packets than she cares to mention! She has also self-published seven books on subjects ranging from templates for embroidery designs to a cancer self-help book. She designs sewing, papercraft, scrapbooking, card, beading, jewellery and mixed media projects, as well as patterns for quilts.

Debbie lives in Norfolk, UK.
