Aaah, hello again, honey pops.
Welcome back to
Book Monday.
Today's book is
completely scrumdiddlyumptious.
Home-Made Vintage
by Christina Strutt.
Hmm, that's right.
Of Cabbages and Roses fame.
I warned you it'd be scrumptious, didn't I?.
Yet, you *chose* to carry on reading.
I can definitely not be blamed for any consequences.
{Click here to buy your very own copy.}
The subtitle is 'Over 40 Quick And Easy Sewing Projects'.
And I'd happily make 38 of them.
That's an impressive score for a craft book.
It's separated into two parts.
Projects: theme by theme, and Instructions.
Each page has absolutely deliciously styled photos to
lure you into having a go at each of the projects.
The projects are divided into chapters:
Living Room, Bedroom and Bathroom,
Clothes and Accessories, and Gifts.
The writing can only be
described as juicily seductive.
Heaven, if it came in book-form,
might look something like this.
With the to-die-for combo of
juicy writing and delicious styling,
you'll be whipping out
your sewing kit in a flash.
The instructions at the back are clear,
although I'd possibly have preferred
larger drawings for each step.
In order to demonstrate just how irresistible these projects are, I've picked out a couple of the ones that most acted as honey traps...
and I've been a busy little industrious bee.
Shall I show you now?
Er, no.
Because you didn't laugh with enough enthusiasm at my honey trap and bee joke.
I'm sensitive like that. Ha!
:-)
Let's try again on Wednesday, shall we?
{Oh, and if you enjoyed last week's
fashion foray, there'll be more of that
a-comin' your way
...and if you didn't enjoy it
speak now or forever hold your peace...}
All images: mine!
I'll be linking with my favourite parties in the sidebar...
