Adventures in Fabric-La Todera Style
Julie M. Creus
Stash Books; $25.95

You will find bright fabrics, a touch of whimsy and creative construction techniques in this collection of 20 projects from designer Julie M. Creus. I became a fan with the first project a large floor pillow, the Harlequin Star Pillow Chair. Julie was inspired by a Victorian pin cushion and exploded its dimensions 100 times to be 46″ in diameter and 23.5″ tall. The projects are divided in use, e.g., living room, dining room, sewing room, holidays. One of the “Just for You” selections is retro look at a favorite kid’s craft – using gum wrappers to make rings or bracelets. Julie has updated this to use fabrics to make a fabric cuff. I’m sure you’ll find something fun to add to your home.
