Présentation de l'éditeur :

It started with a pillowcase dress... and grew into a worldwide movement: crafters using their passion to help those in need. The Craft Hope blog, which organizes crafters to make handmade items for charities, has attracted followers around the world. This book, written by the sites founder and featuring craftings hottest stars, celebrates the cause and encourages others to join in. Each project is matched with a specific charity, with alternative suggestions for local places to contribute the item.
