"Kaari has an impeccable eye. Her take on French vintage is an inspiration, and the projects in this book are no exception." John Derian, artist
Product Description
Thirty sophisticated sewing patterns bring the pleasures of French country living to the home. Kaari Meng, founder of the celebrated vintage textile and ephemera shop French General, includes patterns for a scalloped tablecloth, linen curtains, piles of pillows and bedding, lavender sachets, travel bags, and more. These ready-to-use sewing and embroidery patterns in the pocket up front plus step-by-step directions, gorgeous photos, and hand-drawn illustrations make this a treasure for every crafter, Francophile, home decorator, and fan of French General.

Format:Spiral-bound
This book is both beautiful and practical. As someone with over thirty years of stitching experience, I can recommend it highly.
The projects are clear and explained simply. The photographs are detailed and beautiful. The fabrics are to die for. This book is to be treasured and revered for years to come, especially as the projects are classics and therefore dateless. The pattern pocket on the inside cover is fabulous. I've made tissue paper copies of mine to prolong the life of the originals.
Definitely a 5 star book!

I was delighted with this book, it looks and feels lovely, so many great pictures and projects, really can find something for any level of skill. The pattern pieces are in an envelope at the front of the book which means no breaking of the spine whilst trying to enlarge and photocopy project patterns. This book has been produced with love and the colours are fabulous.

I love this book, presentation is just beautiful. There is an envelope in the front of this book that holds all the patterns for the projects shown.
Each project has one cotton reel as easy level up to three for advanced, so you can start something simple and be sure to be able to complete and work your way up to the advanced stages. This is a must have for any sewers not only for the projects but, also just to be able to sit and read such a lovely book.

I purchased this book along with quite a few other sewing/craft books. It's basically an advertisement for their fabric with limited "fresh" ideas. Read more
