Synopsis
More
than just a how-to guide, granny chic offers inspiration to keen
crafters hoping to breathe new life into vintage fabrics and
second-hand objects. From handmade notebooks to lace lampshades and
pinnies made from tea towels, each of the craft recipes brings the
granny chic look to life whilst allowing you to give them your own
personal twist. This selection of 20 projects includes spruced-up
coat hangers, a dingle dangle door screen, a patched and pieced
lampshade and a crocheted tea cosy. In addition to the projects,
granny chic offers advice on the granny chic lifestyle, from
befriending your local fabric shop to creating a handmade home.
I
picked this up on a whim at my local library on a hot day and it
really gave me the up and go I needed to start on a few projects. Not
only did it inspire me with its delicious photography and easy to
achieve projects. There were a lot of projects in it that I can do
over and over again, using things that I already own. I do love a
good craft book that is packed full of tips, tricks, advice and
little snippets of inspiration and the lovely ladies here have
created a fantastic book here.
Granny
Chic is a lifestyle I resonate with whole heartedly. I am a
resourceful woman. I love creating art from second hand bits and
pieces and I am obsessed with floral's and bright colours. Vintage
trinkets and cute pieces that make my heart sing. I now live with
rose coloured glasses on me at all times when on the hunt online or
offline or even when just going through my little bits and pieces and
the photographs of fabric storage and suitcases gave me a fantastic
idea of how to use an old suitcase as a home for all my fabrics and
laces.
This
is a definite for your collection if you love Granny Chic and
photography are a collector of everything and anything and love to
try different and easy projects. The only downside for me was the
crocheting projects which hold little interest in me. I would
recommend this as a pick me up full of vibrancy, cuteness and joy as
well as a great tool for finding ways to connect with your creative
old soul, and possibly even your partner or kids in doing some of the
projects. It is certainly a keeper for me and I will be picking up my
own copy.
