This book is not just a collection of crochet patterns or a selection of makes to keep you looking de rigeur. Oh no—this book is actually a toolkit of hints, tips and instructions to help you rethink the clothes that are already around you, from your own wardrobe to second-hand stores and thrifted finds. This book is a way of life.
Whether it’s repairing tears and holes, adjusting the fit of a garment, for example by increasing the length of the body or sleeves, or completely restyling a piece of clothing into something altogether more exciting, these innovative crochet ideas will keep more garments out of the landfill—and bring them back to life as your new wardrobe faves.
Sustainable fashion hero and crochet hacking pioneer Emma Friedlander-Collins of @SteelandStitch takes you step-by-step through the process of crocheting into denim, jersey, wool and other fabrics, with seventeen projects to save you money AND save the planet!

Nice for inspiration and a few projects how-tos. It’s not an extensive list of projects, but its not meant to be. It was easy to read with great pictures and examples.

Très beau livre, qui fourmille d’idées créatives. Toutefois il ne faut pas être débutante pour mener à bien certains projets, je vais donc devoir me perfectionner en crochet.
