Welcome to Handmade’s exciting new website!

Celebrating its 21st year of circulation, Handmade is Australia's largest, longest-running and most successful general craft publication.

Now boasting 148 pages, Handmade covers a wide range of the most popular crafts in Australia. From patchwork, appliqué, embroidery, cross stitch, stitcheries, knitting, crochet, sewing, stamping, scrapbooking, decorative painting and folk art, to cloth dolls, toys and bears, ceramic art and simple homemade recipes, we cover it all! Providing value for money, we focus on giving you over 40 fabulous, achievable and quick-to-make projects every issue ­– perfect for those who are pressed for time or who don’t want to spend months completing a project.

And just like the magazine, you'll find plenty more to keep you occupied on our new, updated website. Check out our bonuses section – we have interesting reads for you to enjoy in our Coffee Break segment and we want to hear your stories too, so get writing!

Our internet forum boasts over 6000 members, so there are lots of new crafty friends to be made. More than anything else though, the site provides an outlet for feedback on what you like and what you don’t in the magazine – and what you want to see more of.

Be sure to sign up for the monthly newsletter to keep in touch with our latest news and website updates, as well as your chance to win prizes in our exclusive members’ competitions.

So take a look around and make yourself at home. We're glad to have you here and hope you enjoy your stay.
