Christine Leech has been an avid crafter since childhood, sewing menageries of felt animals, wardrobes of dolls' dresses and always refusing to buy a greetings card when a handmade one could be sent instead. She now has over 15 years' experience designing and art directing a host of women's magazines, most recently working as creative director of the acclaimed Marie Claire Runway. She divides her time between this and blogging about all things craft at www.sewyeah.co.uk. Christine co-created the bestselling books Everything Alice: The Wonderland Book of Makes and Everything Oz: The Wizard Book of Makes and Bakes, which introduced a truly groundbreaking approach to craft.
