Find out how to make it and make someone smile 34 My mum and I watched the first few episodes of Kirstie's Homemade Home but didn't persevere because the crafts felt out of reach. They were beautiful but required specialist equipment and knowledge that we just didn't have.

Allsopp is the eldest child and daughter of Charles Allsopp, 6th Baron Hindlip, a former chairman of Christie's, by his marriage to Fiona Victoria Jean Atherley McGowan (1947–2014). [4] [5] She has a younger brother, Henry William (b. 1973), and two younger sisters, Sofie (b. 1980) and Natasha Fiona (b. 1986). [6] Owing to her father's peerage, she is entitled to use the courtesy style The Honourable Kirstie Allsopp. [7] The designer and businesswoman Cath Kidston is her cousin. [8] [9] This September, I'll be teaching workshops at Kirstie Allsopp’s Handmade Fair - this time at Hampton Court in London (14-16 September) and I'd love to see you there!

What else is keeping Allsopp sane? “I’m not sure I am staying sane,” she says. Watching Call the Midwife is helping (“It just reminds us how hard life was”), as is Friends and Frasier. “Cooking, tidying and our daily walk at the end of the day. Daffodils and Evan Davies. Knowing I have some work to do next week. Mascara.” She says she knows she has much to be grateful for. “There’s no point pretending Covid-19 is a great leveller because – look at me – I’m not on a par with other people, shut up.” She has a big house and garden, she points out, and no financial problems. “Anyone saying we’re all in this together … we’re bloody not. There are people who are shut up who have acute money worries, as well as being in small spaces.” But, mentally, Allsopp is finding it a struggle. “People think I’m quite a robust, gung-ho type of person … that I would be responding really well, but I’m not,” she says. We loved Kirstie’s upcycled tin can dog, and we’ve got plenty of dog-themed goodies for you, including our beloved Malcolm, a firm CB favourite! Get the pattern and templates here 16

We adore this set of cacti – the small size means that you can stitch a whole terrarium in no time at all! These also use basic craft supplies you might already have to hand 15 I interviewed Allsopp about 15 years ago, and I couldn’t help but like her. She often gets herself into trouble with her pronouncements (that washing machines in the kitchen were “disgusting”, that women should think about putting off going to university to have children earlier), but I admire her willingness to say what she thinks. If she is privileged in the extreme – she is the daughter of Charles Allsopp, the sixth Baron Hindlip, and former chairman of Christie’s – at least she is aware of it. Her late mother, Fiona, an interior designer, was diagnosed with breast cancer when Allsopp was 17, an illness she would live with, on and off, for 25 years until her death in 2014. That shaped Allsopp’s early adulthood, and alongside her experience of being a step-parent “means that I don’t feel like I’m completely lost in my privilege”. Her job, she thinks – making TV shows about people looking for their next home – “also enables me to both relate and be relatable. What my job has given me is something that I would never have had otherwise.” Without spending 20 years seeing how more ordinary people lived, or at least those in a position to buy a house, “I’d have lived in my bubble. It would have been the life of an upper-middle-class country housewife. Who knows? Maybe not. Maybe I’m doing myself an injustice. Maybe I would always have been interested in other people and other people’s lives. I think that going all around the country, seeing houses, it would be good if more members of parliament did what I did.” These crocheted hot air balloons have quite simply stolen our hearts. Perfect for hanging in your kid’s bedroom… or yours too, if you make a few! 4We're expecting the format to follow last year's series, which saw each episode focusing on a different competition. Kirstie has previously said of her show: (via Gathered): "It's a very genuine competition. At the end we have four cameras – one pointing at each of the four contestants because no one except the judge knows who's won. I do not influence the result or know the result.
