Sherri Haab, best-selling author of many craft titles, turns her attention to jewellery projects made from fabric, ribbon, thread, cord, wire, beads and buttons. Using a variety of needlework techniques, you can create personal style and unusual adornments.
Sherri says that the inspiration came through digging through her own sewing box and fabric stash, so this books is all about using remnants in an innovative way. There is a comprehensive introduction talking about materials and equipment. The twenty projects are varied and interesting and include no-sew ideas. I like the cuffs, the embroidered rings and the fabric necklace.
The instructions are easy-to-follow, the photographs are clear and there are how-to’s for the basic stitches and so on. This book brings new ideas for jewellery to the craft maker.
