Synopsis
A stylish book about making gorgeous clothes for not much money, recycling thrifted material and creating something brand new from foraged fabric. It's about re-appraising the clothes in your cupboard and transforming them into new outfits and accessories, using simple techniques and the minimum of equipment. In the season-by-season guide, Farry shows us how to recreate Audrey Hepburn sailor chic, look utterly original for a summer wedding, accessorise knits, and make a patchwork poncho for wintry evenings. There's also a section on repairing clothes, on darning and patching creatively, so your favourite items need never end up in the dustbin.
A celebration of DIY clothes and practical step-by-step guide from the author of YEAH, I MADE I MYSELF.
