Start with several shirts that nobody plans to wear any more, add some
imagination, and the resulting product can be anything from a
good-looking checked chair cover or a brightly patterned beach bag to a
set of table napkins or a soft stuffed toy that will delight a lucky
toddler. The principle guiding this fascinating crafts book is that
recycling isn't merely virtuous--it's also fun, and a good way to add
colorful new items to the household. Author Juliet Bawden presents ideas
for transforming all kinds of shirts--classic white or blue dress
shirts, Hawaiian shirts, lumberjack shirts, polo shirts, corduroy
shirts, or any other kind that happens to be available. She then
presents detailed directions and templates for creating--
Chair covers
Book covers
Baby booties
Bath towels
Duvet cover and pillowcase
Cushion covers A fabric storage bucket
Garden chair cushions, and much more
There
is also advice on where to find shirts for these projects, just in case
no spares are available at home. Charity shops are one very good
source. Juliet Bawden also gives her readers helpful advice on
completing each project with added zippers, Velcro, and buttons where
they're needed.. Each of the book's projects has been handsomely
photographed in a stylish setting, and supplemented with helpful how-to
photos and illustrations.
