ReCraft: How to Turn Second-hand Stuff into Beautiful Things for your Home, Family and Friends | Buttonbag
1 post | 1 read
In today's thrifty times it is seems right to re-use fabrics and buttons and customize old clothes rather than buying brand new ones. The Buttonbag book is packed with instruction and ideas on how to re-use, re-cycle and re-create fantastic things, thereby transforming old into new. There are about 40 step-by-step projects for a range of items including items for the home, clothes and accessories for all ages plus patterns, templates and basic techniques. Illustrated with photographs and hand-painted illustrations, the emphasis is on simple, easy-to-make items with a twist.

Lots of fun craft ideas in this book, mostly using old sweaters or other clothes you can buy at a thrift store. I liked the cute illustrations but at times they made it unclear what to do. I‘m sure I could work out what to do if necessary though. Also unclear at times were the British words unfamiliar to this American 😂
