If gathering like-minded friends for crafting and cake sounds like the perfect way to spend a day, be sure to get your hands on a copy of Pretty Little Things 26– Bake Off. This issue is a feast for the eyes with three fun projects to inspire your crafternoon. You could start by crocheting Matt Farci’s brilliant Jammy Dodger Cushions to set the scene and make your guests comfortable. Sew Liz Barraclough’s Quilted Oven Mitts, to feel like a pro in the kitchen, even if you’re buying the cakes in! If knitting is more your cup of tea, then Cher Marcus has designed the sweetest Cake Slice Pincushion. Dot a few on the table amongst the bakes, to avoid the inevitable rogue pins and needles as you craft together!
