Shops and markets selling vintage furniture and trinkets are an absolute treasure trove for anyone looking to inject some character and charm into their hoe without spending a fortune. "Homemade Gifts Vintage Style" takes this one step further by inspiring you to make or customise your own vintage wares and present them as gifts. Rather than throwing out worn jumpers and blankets, give them a new lease of life by turning them into cute animals for children's birthdays. Instead of ditching cushions that have seen better days, why not transform them into something unique with colourful and eclectic vintage fabrics. Sarah Moore shows you how with step-by-step photographs accompanied by simple instructions. Projects can be sewn by hand or accomplished with one simple stitch on a sewing machine so are suitable for all abilities. With their colourful vintage look these projects make the perfect gifts for any occasion - so lovely that you'll have to resist the temptation to keep them for yourself.

This beautifully presented book really gets your creative juices flowing. I've had such a fun time with this book, getting ideas and then shopping around second-hand stores and the cheaper antique stores sourcing vintage bits and pieces and then going home with my "Homemade Gifts Vintage style" to see what i can rustle up. I'm a sucker for things crafty and vintage, the more shabby chic the better. The ideas in this book really are do-able. I would definately call myself a newbie at the whole crafts thing and there are quite a few pieces in here you can do in such a position. I'm looking forward to working my way further through the book as my experience grows. Be warned though - You will find that this book stops you throwing anything out! i'm always storing up ripped clothes, old linen, bits of broken jewellery etc in case there is something i can make with it from my book. The book is full of step-by-step photographs accompanied by simple instructions. the ideas in the book can be sewn by hand or with a sewing machine.
