The projects in this book use genuine vintage or vintage-inspired fabrics and materials to create elegant evocative pieces, Vivienne also shows you how to make use of treasured possessions and secondhand finds for that feeling of nostalgia. Create lavender bath bags and rose-scented drawer liners, or make a fashion statement with a beaded brooch or corsage.
To point you in the right direction, there are tips on what to look for when you’re rummaging in antique stores or hunting for vintage fabric. Finding your materials is one of the most enjoyable parts of making these projects, as all vintage projects have a history. It’s fun to think of the person who used to own the dress or the lace tablecloth you are restyling.
Each project features step-by-step instructions, beautiful photographs and gift-wrap ideas. Whether you have already discovered your own traditional style and want more inspiration, or are new to this trend, Vintage Projects shows you how to recreate your own little piece of history.
