Vintage Made Modern by Jennifer Casa
Create modern heirlooms using vintage materials-a collection of 35 innovative projects showcasing the exceptional beauty in timeworn textiles.Vintage Made Modern is a book devoted to recycling just as generations before us have, utilizing timeworn textiles with histories of their own. With a little resourcefulness, gentle care, and some creative repurposing, the 35 innovative projects in this book breathe life back into these textiles, refresh their beauty, and create new memories. Whether it be Granny's well-worn apron, a threadbare family quilt, or a tattered tea towel you picked up at the thrift shop, each of these textiles has a tale to tell. Vintage Made Modern will have you collaborating with makers from the past and continuing stories composed long ago, with you becoming part of the narrative.
For as long as she can remember, JENNIFER CASA has enjoyed crafting things by hand. Her designs are influenced by her children, books and music, European vacations, and, above all, her passion for old textiles and patchwork. She aspires to give fresh life to worn-out items that would otherwise be discarded or ignored. Jennifer, a self-taught designer, uses her 10 years of teaching experience to create her vast line of beginner-friendly sewing and knitting patterns. She lives in Northern Ohio with her husband and daughters, snuggled between the city and the countryside.
