Very Creative ideas of old clothing items changed into something new and fashionable! Stephanie has an eye for fashionable items everyone can where!

I was a little disappointed with this book as I expected more on reworking clothing, and less on embellishment. I am not a big fan of overly embellished clothing/accessories so most of the projects in this book are not for me. There are several bags made out of recycled clothing that are practical. Instructions seem to be thorough with plenty of photos.

I expected more from it but there were a few designs that I really REALLY loved and enjoyed making so for that reason it was pretty good and useful.
