Customer Reviews

Beautiful book.

A beautiful book with great photos and ideas. There are instructions for a number of projects and an idea section in the back. Good for anyone who loves to look at photos of vintage items for inspiration.

Rethink Your Use of Fabrics

I needed the ideas in this book to use the vintage lace that I'd collected and the stacks of old quilts hidden away in the closet. These were things that attracted me at flea markets and yard sales, but then I had trouble working them into my decor. The idea of hanging antique clothing on the wall like a piece of art really appeals. This is a great book for any fabric-aholic out there.

There are ideas for every room of the house

Lucinda Ganderton and Rose Hammick's Vintage Fabric Style uses gorgeous color photos by Catherine Gratwicke to embellish the authors' discussions of incorporating vintage fabrics into a modern home. There are ideas for every room of the house, plenty of step-by-step projects, and plenty of insights on fabric qualities and project suitability. Bright photos everywhere make for fabulous examples.

beautiful photos

I really liked this book for the photography and ideas--IO would have liked it more with more projects and how to directions! It is beautiful, though

Not enough original projects, but very good

I liked this book very much - the pictures are well-done and the layout is beautiful. Very high design standards. I only wish there were more creative or new projects - things I have not already seen elsewhere. I have TONS of vintage fabrics, and there are just so many pillows and sack bags I can make (or need for that matter). There's room for another book with more projects, but this is a wonderful, attractive start
