I have no regrets ordering

I have no regrets ordering this book. In an age of waste and a throw away culture, books like this show us how to utilize fabric which is overlooked in it's potential and incorporate them into everyday useful items such as pillows and bags. Elegant projects using re-purposed fabrics. Lots of good information in handling different fabrics.
