Drawing inspiration from the interiors and fashions of the
twentieth century, this great new book is packed full of knit and
crochet projects which will fit perfectly into any vintage-inspired
interior. The craft skills that have traditionally been passed down
through the generations from mother to daughter are as popular as
ever, boosted by the current vogue for all things vintage. Creating
your own bespoke home furnishings is now seen not just as an
exercise in thrift, but as a creative and rewarding activity in
itself. Two Tone Chic draws inspiration from the sophistication and
elegance of Coco Chanel's famous little black dress, the drama of
geometric art deco shapes, and the simplicity of embellishments
such as ribbons and lace. Folk Tales introduces the tradition of
colour and spontaneity found in Scandinavian and Russian folk art,
with its recurring motifs from the natural world, as well as joyful
decorative techniques like bobbles, beads, pom poms, embroidery and
applique. Birds and flowers adorn cushions, while the bright
colours of Russian Dolls provide inspiration for a cosy blanket and
a sumptuous floor cushion. Time for Tea brings us to the 'make do
and mend' era of the 1950s with its floral frocks and afternoon tea
parties. Pretty vintage buttons, frills and lace are all in
evidence here, with floral cushions, doilies and table runners.
With feature spreads on the inspiration behind each look, these
projects will help you turn your house into a home. Word count:
