Customer Reviews

You might want to see before buying

I wouldn't recommend buying this book without looking at it first, because it wasn't what I expected from the title. Many of the projects don't look vintage to me. And in case you were wondering, it does not show you how to make the pretty ribbon roses used in the cover piece, although it does show you how to make another fabric flower used in another piece. It also provides instruction and templates for several fabric bags with beaded embellishments, which I wasn't expecting. The photography and illustrations are very good.

Making Vintage Jewellery

I always find good information in any book. I am particularly interested in vingage jewelery so it was excellent for me. Also, I am not a nitpicker.

Great Information & Designs

A wonderful book to inspire you! A friend of mine is getting married in a Great Gatsby dress and I am making wedding party jewelry pieces - the use of this book has guided me in my own creations. Thank you for a fab book!
