Why pay the upscale prices at eco-chic boutiques when you can creatively upcycle? Sandy Stone presents her unique outlook on sewing and decorating: repurpose, reconstruct, and renew. Learn all the techniques and how to find vintage fabrics and furnishings “scavenger style” at thrift stores, then get to work at transforming these treasures with delightfully unexpected projects. Old ties become a sturdy chair back, vintage scarves become luxurious pillows, and a trampoline becomes a chic window treatment. With plenty of inspiration in each eye-popping photograph, Fabric Remix doesn’t just instruct stitchers, it upcycles their style.

Pillows are the perfect creative canvas—easy to sew and ideal for crafters (even beginners) eager to experiment and play. And this classic item of home décor will look more beautiful than ever with these inventive interpretations by a group of talented indie designers. The creative projects include pillows adorned with chic appliqués; a bolster decorated with a child’s drawing embroidered onto the surface, and a cheerfully modern patchwork design made from fabric scraps.
From traditional squares to sculptural shapes, this collection will have crafters happily filling their houses with these pretty little creations—and giving them as beautiful gifts.
