Inside this book are some of the nicest photos I have ever seen. As we all know by now, I totally adore vintage and vintage linens are by far my favorite. I have closet upon closet of sheets, pillowcases, quilts, table linens and just scraps of lace. I use all vintage linens when I can (I tend to use a new fitted sheet) and I just feel like a queen when I slide under my vintage French linen sheet with the lovely monograms. This book actually shows you how to make a sheet set. This alone would make me purchase this book, I find hemp fabric all the time at Flea Markets and to actually make sheets would be awesome.
First I need to learn to sew. Soon, I swear this time. This book gives you the patterns, which I have shown you that mine aren't even opened yet. I look at this book at least twice a week but I refuse to open the pattern envelope since I don't want to lose one pattern before I learn to sew.
Each project in the book comes complete with the pattern, instructions, list of supplies, and a code by the photo explaining if you should be a beginner, experienced or advanced sewer. None of the projects include the code for "You failed home ec 4 years in a row and ended up watering geraniums in order to graduate with your senior class. What a tool!" This is why I have not attempted any projects yet.You will also learn about fabrics and sewing notions. How to create a sewing basket, storing vintage fabrics and quite a lot of other interesting facts. Plus, if you are anything like me and lovely photos of beautiful organization makes you swoon, you will find it here.
The projects include liners, bed covers, cushions, shoe bags, throw pillows, cocktail coasters, napkins and many, many more.
You can use vintage fabrics or new. Embellish them or leave them plain and simple. No matter how you go about it, in the end you will have a linen collection fit for a queen. And that is all that matters.
