The Handmade Home is a modern guide to the art of crafting a home for less with 20 projects for homewares.

Brimming with ideas from the pretty to the practical, The Handmade Home contains 20 unique projects for every room in your home using repurposed materials, helping you save money and the planet.

Arounna will show you how to craft confidently to make modern, stylish homewares using traditional techniques and natural materials. Discover how to make a quilt and pillow from scrap fabrics, a blanket made from old sweaters, a rug made from rags and more.

All the projects are beginner-friendly and include clear step-by-step instructions plus stunning lifestyle photography. The projects are also adaptable, allowing you to make them as simple or complex as you like.

Having a beautiful home doesn’t need to cost a lot – or the earth. The Handmade Home will show you how to accessorise your home to make it feel cosy and feel your own with what you have.

the workroom is a place for people to make, learn and share.

Sprucedale maker space/shop for fabric, notions, patterns, books, sewing machines, inspiration, and project cheerleading.

We acknowledge and deeply appreciate that the land on which we now live and operate in Sprucedale, within the Almaguin Highlands, is part of the traditional and ancestral territory of many Indigenous peoples, including the Anishinaabeg, specifically the Ojibwe and Algonquin nations.

This region is situated within the lands covered by the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850, and remains home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.

We honor the enduring presence and stewardship of Indigenous communities - past, present, and future and we commit to ongoing learning, respect, and relationship with the land and its original caretakers.
