Whether you're a novice crafter or an established maker, the launch issue of Making magazine is filled with project ideas that will keep you sewing, baking, mixing, cutting, and gluing for weeks. The heart of Making is the home and, as a result, we have divided the content into five key areas: wardrobe, living, kitchen, bathroom, and garden. This craft pick 'n' mix is simplified with some basic colour coding, which is reflected on this website: orange for the bedroom, yellow for the living areas, red for the kitchen, blue for the bathroom and green for the garden.

Our projects have been created by leaders in their field - from delightfully nostalgic paper craft by Jennifer Collier to luxurious bespoke bath bombs by Brian Cox. We've even got features for those spare moments when you're waiting for the glue to dry or the oven timer to ping. Our interview with ceramicist Sylph Baier, for example, should last just about the length of time it takes to stick on the kettle and indulge in a delicious cupcake. And yes, we have a variety of colourful cupcake icings for you to try too!

Once the tea break is over, you might want to take a look at your wardrobe. The arrival of autumn is a great time to breathe new life into your clothes, and the launch issue of Making gives you a dress project for every day of the week. With leaves to kick and puddles to jump in, a pair of wellies is a wardrobe staple, and we've got the perfect project to store them in. While you're outside, how about creating a little something for your feathered friends? Making has a quick and simple bird cake recipe to help your garden birds survive the winter months ahead.
