The Crafty Gentleman's Guide to Modern Paper Piecing

Mike Aspinall is 'The Crafty Gentleman' and a self-confessed craft addict. He believes passionately that crafting is not just for women, so he set up his blog to celebrate the diversity of making things (and to hopefully encourage a few more men to into the world of crafts). He posts original DIY & craft projects, recipes, tips and crafty inspiration, all from his home in Nottingham, UK. Mike is one of the UK's most popular craft bloggers and has been shortlisted for awards with Pinterest, Mollie Makes, Craft Business and more. Through his blog, he's been lucky enough to be elected as the UK Singer Sewing Brand Ambassador and the UK Ambassador for Cricut. As well as appearing on British national television including Channel 4, and on popular crafting channel The Craft Store (formerly named Hochanda), Mike's work has been featured in The Guardian and The Telegraph. He has taught craft workshops across the country and internationally, and has collaborated with numerous brands and celebrities. He continues to share his designs with his followers via his website: www.thecraftygentleman.net
