Your personality will show through with:
• More than 30 projects for creating purses, blouses, tees, jackets and more
• Ideas for embellishing with buttons, sparkly crystals, colorful fabric snippets, beads and anything you come across
• Simple techniques, such as basic sewing, folding, bonding and drawing
With a little creativity and simple embellishing, you'll be on your way to updating your wardrobe with your own style and flair. Never again will you have "nothing to wear"!
