144 pages Sustainable materials projects have come a long way from scratchy hemp skirts and brown patchwork aprons and Sew Eco is a unique how-to book which guides a whole new generation of savvy crafters in making beautiful wardrobe and home furnishing creations from unusual eco-friendly recycled or vintage fabrics. The book features a series of stylish projects with a focus on both how to source and use sustainable fabrics and teaches readers many different aspects of sewing. Projects include amazing transformations such as making cushions, skirts, scarves, shawls and handbags from recycled shirts, old sweaters, vintage buttons, vintage lace, peace silk, organic fabrics and other materials, using leather appliqué and even "upcycling" an old suede skirt or hat into something truly creative and utterly fantastic. 646.4 SIN s9781408102848 Lasalle College Jakarta Library Catalogue 646.4 SIN s FD10276 Fashion Design 646.4 SIN s 1320 2015-07-06 11:30:21 2016-09-20 14:19:37 machine generated
