Cheap Frills: Fabulous Facelifts for Your Clothes

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar EmptyStar Empty

(Hardcover)-You want the beaded skirt but you don't want to surrender your life's savings. You own several so-so sweaters that lack a certain je ne sais quoi and are better left in the closet. Cheap Frills is guaranteed to solve these fashion crises and more. With over forty simple ideas that use ribbons, beads, sequins, and other easy-to-find trimmings, the projects in Cheap Frills will have readers converting their humdrum garments into one-of-a-kind fashion statements before they can say avant garde. From the I Dream of Genie Top accented with sparkly sequins to a Snow Bunny sweater trimmed with soft faux sheepskin, these great do-it-yourself couture ideas range from sophisticated to whimsical, but always wearable. A practical resource guide offers a host of good ideas for where to get the materials used in the book, and an illustrated techniques section makes it a snap to learn all the basic stitches. Illustrated throughout with colorful photographs and drawings, Cheap Frills has something for every mood, be it hot or haute.

  1. Star FullStar FullStar EmptyStar EmptyStar Empty Posted: Aug 11 2009

    I was disappointed with this book. A few ideas were great, but most of it would have been more helpful ten years ago.

  2. Star FullStar FullStar EmptyStar EmptyStar Empty Posted: Dec 13 2008

    Ideas in the book are good but they are presented in the most simple of ways, so you really need to use your style skills to ramp them up to a higher level of taste and execution. Fun book if you have decent sewing skills and just need a new POV on remodelling your out of date or boring clothes that are not ready for cleaning rags or the Good Will. Warning!! The color of the clothing re-cons shown in the book are all in the realm of girls age 8 and under...yes it is that bad!.. Like I said, fun book, if you use your own input to tweak the ideas.

    I was very disappointed with this book. There are not enough pictures of finished garments, and it is designed for the grade school set or teen age years. I would not want my daughter to wear some of these redone clothes. Cheap is the word for this book!
