About the Book

This vibrant book from our very own workshop hosts Jenni Smith and Kay Walsh is here to transform how you experience this important life transition. These 10 fabulous projects will help you to rediscover joy and creativity when perimenopause and menopause seem to take the reins.

Whether you’re a sewing newbie or dusting off old skills, Jenni and Kay have crafted beginner-friendly projects that are as practical as they are beautiful. Whip up a chic potion pouch for those essential pick-me-ups or an elegant eye mask to banish sleepless nights. Stay cool and stylish with a breezy cover-up, or find moments of calm in slow-stitching a charming Log Cabin placemat.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

• An introduction to menopause and the health and wellness benefits of crafting from Dr. Hannah Davies (BSc MBBS MRCGP), who specializes in menopause and lifestyle medicine at the world-renowned Newson Health Clinic.
• 10 unique sewing projects with pull-out patterns, thoughtfully designed to ease the physical and mental discomforts that come with menopause—from insomnia and memory loss to brain fog.
• Inspiring photos, step-by-step instructions, and easy-to-follow illustrations to guide you through each project.
• A handy chapter on essential sewing techniques for beginners or for those needing a crash course.
• Designer spotlights, celebrating a range of female indie fabric designers whose fabrics have been used throughout the book: Sally Kelly, Karen Lewis, Rashida Coleman-Hale, and Alice Caroline.

Menopause Makes is both a celebration of creativity and an invitation to self-care. Sew away the symptoms, and stitch together a new chapter of confidence and craftiness!
