Transform old and vintage textiles into beautiful new art! Author and artist Mandy Pattullo demonstrates how to source, refashion, and repurpose old and worn textiles through embellishment, stitch, and appliqué; she also shows how to turn them into stunning quilts, books, table linen, wall hangings, and more. Following the make-do-and-mend and folk-art traditions of previous generations, Mandy gives simple instructions for handling these vintage and precious materials, and provides projects for quilts and patchworks, linen and lace, wool and knitting, and deconstructing worn garments. Her ideas—from making rag dolls and lace books to stitching on blankets, sewing tapestry panels, and customizing children’s clothes—will inspire you to incorporate these past beauties into your own unique textile work.

Easy Quilts from Your Closet is a guide to making the most of the fabrics you love. Quilting is a great way to recycle T-shirts, blue jeans, neckties, pj’s , and even prom dresses—to give old favorites a quick and cozy makeover. These fifteen projects teach three of the most basic quilting techniques: patchwork piecing, foundation piecing, and applique. Readers learn how to “deconstruct” their favorite garments and then reconstruct the pieces to form the small individual blocks that are stitched together to form a quilt. Block by block, they’ll learn how to make quilt tops and “sandwiches” and then decoratively stitch their surfaces by machine—with straight lines or freeform shapes. They’ll also learn how to assemble blocks to make three full sampler quilts, adding sashing, binding, and designer labels.
