This is one of the nicest books I have ever bought, beautiful photographic illustrations of garments made.
Fantastic ideas for using old and antique fabrics found at antique fairs and the like.
Old fabrics incorporated into blouses, cushion covers and many houshold articles.
The interest in this book is never ending.

sew vintage
3 July 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the book I have been waiting for. I have many old fabrics that I didn't know what to do with - well, I know what to do with them now that I have read this wonderful, well written, fun to read book. It is organized wonderfully, illustrated beautifully and filled with many, many easy to sew ideas, not to mention all that you will learn about taking care of your old textiles. Ms. Atwood does a wonderful job of helping us learn how to use our old fabrics that are sitting in closets and not being put to use. I love this book - every sewer should have it. It is also very reasonably priced for all of the information that is packed into it. Do yourself a favor and order it now. You will not be sorry. Even if you are new to sewing or an old pro. this should be on your bookshelf. It would also make someone very happy to receive as a gift.

Turn Old Linens into Clothing and Decorative Home Items
29 May 2005
Format:Paperback
If you're looking for a how to book for taking vintage linens and sewing them into useful items, you've found it in this book. Moderate sewing skills are required, as well as a sewing machine.
Some of the items are small enough to be made out of damaged linen pieces that don't have any antique value.
The projects can be broken down into these catagories-Women's Tops, Children's Dresses, Gift Bags, Pillows, Curtains,& Simple Purses. These projects are nicely done and the end results are tasteful enough to actually wear or use.

This Book is Not For Me
7 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has good information however the projects appear to be a little dated. I was hoping the projects would focus more on sewing things for the home and not so focused on sewing garments from vintage linen.
