Book Review: Home-Made Vintage by Christina Strutt

 

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...
