The Stockholm designer and scenographer, Caroline Romare, shows us how to re-make older clothing and bits-and-pieces from the attic or the bureau drawer, and how to appreciate the quality of salvageable detail and high-quality fabrics in older garments and accessories. This is defintiely not the ragamuffin thrift-shop look, but elegantly arty outfits and childrens’ clothes. The book inlcudes patterns and some needlework stencils. Some very clever ideas for a personal wardrobe includes patterns for fabric and embroidery.
