And a bit about:
Sewing never goes out of style, and today it is more popular
than ever! Sew Retro offers twenty-five stylish,
vintage-inspired sewing projects—beautiful bags, essential skirts,
unique pillows, and more—that are a pleasure to sew, thanks to easy
instructions, helpful diagrams, and a pocket of ten full-size patterns.
This
fun, inspirational book also uncovers sewing’s colorful history, from
the introduction of the sewing machine to the modern DIY movement, and
features interviews with today’s hottest fabric and pattern
designers, including Amy Butler, Betz White, Barbara Brackman, Emma
Brennan, Judie Rothermel, and Kathy Miller of Michael Miller Fabrics.
Filled with gorgeous project photography and quirky vintage
illustrations that bring the 1920s, 1940s, 1950s, and beyond to life, Sew
Retro celebrates sewing yesterday and today.
