Product Description

About the Author

Caroline Zoob has no training in design and was thrown out of needlework class at elementary school. She didn't pick up a needle again until her mid-thirties, when friends started to have children and she wanted to welcome them into the world with something handmade. After qualifying as a lawyer, she decided she preferred sewing, and has since developed a following for her hand-embroidered creations fashioned from antique textiles. Her work appears regularly in interiors magazines and she has contributed to Country Living. She has also designed hand-painted tableware for Off the Wall Interiors. Caroline is inspired by children and folk art and by the garden of Leonard and Virginia Woolf, which she and her husband tend on behalf of the National Trust.^Caroline Arber began her career as a fashion photographer. After having children of her own, she began photographing children, working on projects for Portfolio and Athena International. She now works mainly as an interiors photographer for magazines including Red, Homes and Gardens, and Country Living. For Ryland Peters and Small she has taken photographs for A Handful of Herbs, The Wedding Planner, and, most recently, Vintage Inspirations.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must if you can't bear plastic! 5 Jan 2004
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book shortly having my first baby and quickly set about making the long eared, long legged floppy rabbit seen sitting on one of the beds. He is called Trevor and wears a lovely knitted jumper made by a friend (much cleverer than I). I defy you not to love this book. It fills you with nostalgia for bedrooms long gone, where boys played with home-made forts and girls enjoyed knitted dresses for their dollies. The author's philosophy is that nothing is too good for children and that home made presents shouldn't be put out of their reach. In fact, her presents have been cherished by several of her nephews and nieces and I can see why. If you hope that your child won't be sucked into the evil world of computer games and plastic - then this is the book for you. She manages to combine the old with the new and the pictures are beautifully photographed and illustrated. I'm hooked and have bought two other books in this series - cushions and soft furnishings and vintage fabrics.
