This review is from: Felt, Fabric, and Fiber Jewelry: 20 Beautiful Projects to Bead, Stitch, Knot, and Braid (Paperback)

I returned this book. I knew I would never use it. I was not happy with the projects. There is a whole chapter devoted to crochet (I don't crochet). There are tatted items and macrame items (I don't do either). I expected more sewing projects. There are a few felt projects. I did not think the jewelry projects were pretty with the exception of the front cover. I did like that project but one project does not make me keep the book. I could not see myself making any of the jewelry projects and actually wearing them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Jewelry Making Book!, March 8, 2009

This review is from: Felt, Fabric, and Fiber Jewelry: 20 Beautiful Projects to Bead, Stitch, Knot, and Braid (Paperback)

This is the most original craft jewelry book I own. It stimulates the imagination to create jewelry out of almost anything. I would consider it an 'altered jewelry' book since it uses many different, easy to attain, items such as scraps of fabric, wire, felt and so much more to create unique and beautiful pieces of jewelry. The illustrations for making these items are very clear in both picture quality and written descriptions. I recommend it highly to anyone who is into this type of jewelry.

This review is from: Felt, Fabric, and Fiber Jewelry: 20 Beautiful Projects to Bead, Stitch, Knot, and Braid (Paperback)

Unlike the first reviewer, I was pleased to see macrame and tatting projects included. And the crochet projects are not beyond my novice skills. So if you're looking for new ways to craft with your fabric and thread collections, this book will give you lots of ideas. And even this 60-year-old reviewer can see herself wearing some of these projects!
