Heidi said ... I'd love to adorn tote bags with crochet embellishments. Now, I know some may not consider a tote bag to be a piece of clothing, but I disagree.


Tracie B said ... I have a few t-shirts that I love the image on the front, but when I bought them (or they were bought for me) they were snug. Now that I've gained weight over the last year or so, they don't fit at all. I would love to find a way to upcycle them with crochet so I can wear them again.


anilia said ... Oh, oh, so many ideas!! I would love to have a copy of this book!


Corinne said ... This book looks so fantastic. All the reviews I have read about it make me want to buy it. Its on my wishlist for the holidays.

I have this denim skirt in the top of my closet - a denim skirt I absolutely love and refuse to part with, even though it has a huge gouge in the front thanks to a run in with a rabid stud nail. I don't want to just patch it, because that would look odd... but I have been saving it, thinking I will do something with it someday. Seeing what was done to the tank top.. i could see a row of crocheted embellishments wooshing up the skirt to save it!


CraftyMaria said ... Bags, bags and once again bags...you can never have enough of bags!


Laura said ... I have to agree with Heidi, tote bags are definately clothing. I would love to use these designs to decorate purses or totes. I love the projects combining sewing and crochet.


Barb from GA said ... My daughter has a pair of jeans with one blown out knee. Wouldn't a few flowers, worked in a fine cotton, look sweet?

Sadie said ... This book looks ace! I'm yet to master crocheting, but from what you've said I reckon even I would be able to learn from Linda!
I'm imagining a cute but plain little T shirt dress I have with those trees from the tote bag climbing up from the bottom...how sweet!


Molly said ... Those little birds would look adorable hanging from the Christmas tree.


Hawkeyegirl said ... I'd definitely alter my plain khaki colored messenger bag. It needs some livening up!


Eleanor (undeadgoat) said ... I've wanted to make a crochet-yoke tank top for quite some time . . . I figure betting ahold of a pattern that actually appeals to me would be a good motivation to finally learn to crochet.


andrea said ... Oh wow! These are just fantastic! I would use these embellishments on everything! Button down shirts. Skirts. hand knitted sweaters!

Totally adorable!


Corvus said ... I've got the perfect tank top (and ultra-thin yarn!) for that tank top mod, and would love to give it a shot.


Cara said ... I have a skirt that would look lovely with those birdies on it! :)


Kathleen said ... What a great thing to give away. One can never have too many books on crochet...no matter what the content, or how accomplished one may be with the craft.

I have an old denim jacket that really should be tossed but am thinking some crochet may just be the ticket for revamping the poor old thing . It's been my fave for years - and would love to keep it that way for a few more!


Diane said ... I have had plans for a while to alter some of my plain jumpers ('sweater' to you) with some yoke detail. I'm imagining creating a wispy, lacy shawl type attachment around the neck opening so that it drapes around my shoulders. Or just some pretty frou-frou around the neck - flowers or bobbly lace.


Erin said ... Definitely jeans!


Miki said ... Eee, I am so excited about this book! I would totally love to jazz up some old bags and t-shirts!


Janet said ... I'm definitely thinking jeans.

BTW, thank you for reviewing this book and sharing photos of some of the pages! If I don't win, I'll most certainly buy the book - it looks very substantial (i.e. not just patterns, but tons of info too)


Michelle said ... I'm loving the tank top idea and some jeans could use some crochet spice! I love the tote bag too!


nancymoo said ... Great review, Alice! I always want the books you review! I'm sure I'll buy this book either way, but I SO want to do the birds on a bag I'm making for my niece. I have some shirts that I would wear to work but they are kind of plain... for now. ;) I'm thinking wall hanging as well... birds, trees, flowers... :D


Heather said ... I would definitely embelish some bags - and I would love to try the tank top, but it looks difficult - I guess I could always try right?


Megan said ... I'd totally make a bunch of flowers for decorating a sweater or else for making brooches to adorn all sorts of clothing! And I love the birds you showed, too. Hadn't seen those yet!


Betsy said ... I have an old barn jacket that just screams out for some embellishments! What a lovely book , I have seen other reviews of this book that didn't show it off nearly so well.Thanks Alice.


Kat said ... This would be a great way to spice up jackets--instead of permanently attaching motifs to clothing, I think I'd sew bar pins onto them, so they could be moved around.


Emily said ... Wow this book is so cool! I love how it has so many pictures so you can follow along! I would definitely try to attempt the tank top!


EmmaNadine said ... I have a boring denim skirt that would look awesome with some of those trees growing up from the hem. What an amazing book!


amy said ... Yoga clothes...all of them. They're comfy & serve the purpose, but boooring. How fun to cut them up & put them back together with some added crochet?

At the very least, a little crochet around the bottom of the legs gives a person something pretty to look at when reaching for the toes!


Sophie said ... Oh, I would SO love to have this. I recently lost my job, and crochet has helped me to keep my sanity. I'm pulling out all my old stash from years ago. And the possibilities!!!! I'd love to embellish some of my daughter's tanks, purses, headbands, skirts. Even blankets. I would LOVE to do a tank like the red one!! Tank top mod? - never heard that before, but I like it. I'll try!!


Tara* said ... This book looks fabulous! I'm only just starting to crochet and everything looks fun! I especially love the little birdies, though. And my husband would be so proud of me if I added cute crocheted bits to my handbags instead of buying new ones! The directions in this book look very clear and easier to follow than some I've seen. I'm putting it on my most-wanted list so even if I don't win the giveaway, I'll probably buy it!


Vicki K said ... This looks fantastic! Usually there are projects OR a library of stitch patterns. Having both in this book is such a wonderful surprise. Thanks for a great giveaway!


jenny k. said ... My mom and I would Love this book. I think the adorned tank is the cutest crochet project I've seen in ages. So great to see a book that's not just ponchos and beanies.


Jessica said ... I have a diaper bag in need of crochet adornment! This book would get rid of any excuse not to do it finally!


Apryl said ... I don't know how to crochet but its the next craft on my list to try... I do have a thing for collecting vintage doilies to use for crafts so it would be fun to learn how to make them. I would love to adorn a few t-shirts and handbags.


Jenn W said ... I have a dress that I am crocheting for my niece that NEEDS some flowers! I also have a crochet bag that I just finished that needs some adornment.


lauria said ... I just got a bunch of canvas totes for free, which is great, but their boring off white. I'd love to dress them up with a little crochet adornment! :)


Katie said ... What a fabulous book! How fun would that be to embellish the heck outta stuff around here with lovely little birds and flowers. So I have an old flannel that my husband no longer wants, and I want to refashion it into a top for me for the fall. I think a pretty edging on the bell sleeves I want to make (dream big, right?) would be really cool! Or maybe even flowers along the neckline. Why not? Thanks for such a neat giveaway!


Julie said ... I love the tank top idea - I have several I wear to work where the straps are disintegrating. I also received 7 paperboxes full of yarn skeins & left over yarn from my grandma. (I've nicknamed it "The Stash") and this book will definitely inspire me to use it up!


Dawn Sokol said ... Thanks for reviewing this! I was wondering about this one...I think I'd adorn some tote bags...Or maybe I'd add some to a fabric journal! That sounds fun! :)


Kelly said ... I love those trees on the tote bag! They would also be fun along the bottom of a skirt or shirt though!


Katharine said ... As my username means bag girl - I would use some of this crocheted pieces to pimp one or more of my bags.


Lisa Leggett said ... I love the tree totebag. I would use these patterns to adorn a not-so-old denim jacket that is just kinda boring. Love your blog by the way! :o)


Lorena Morgan said ... I love this book! the little birds are great! I can totally see them on a handbag!


Michelle said ... My favorite white tank top that has one too many kid stains could be revived! I haven't done anything to it yet, knowing I could easily embellish it, but I don't have the nerve. I think this book would give me courage!


Aimee said ... Ooh! I am ALL about the tank top/t-shirt adornment! What a great way to revive a boring old shirt!!


~ish~ said ... My very pretty purple wool winter coat would love some sweet birdie accents! I also think some beautiful trees creeping up the side of a t-shirt would look FANTASTIC if I used fingering weight yarn!

What a creative and lovely book!


Marya said ... I'm pretty sure I would embellish every piece I own if I could, but most likely some older tanks I have. They would look great in warm weather or under a cardigan for work.


Sofia said ... the question is what piece of clothing !wouldn't! i like to modify with crochet embellishments! and not only clothing, what about some fancy pillow covers or a nice detail on some curtains... oh my i want that book sooo much!! love, sofia


miss lila said ... I think I would embellish... just about everything. but I especially think some embellished skirts and crochet motif appliques are first in line -- I adore those little birds!


silia said ... I would use then to cover up stains on my daughters shirts! lol give new life to old clothes


Heather said ... I have a solidly built but boring canvas coat that gets a lot of use in the winter. It could certainly use some brightening up with a crochet embellishment.


MelodyJ said ... I would like to add embellishment on tops, skirts and bags.
melodyj(at)gmail(dot)com


Agnieszka said ... oh.. so beautyfull! I would modify my dress and some bags. Maybe old boring sweaters also? I will try!


Mary Grace McNamara said ... The bottom of a skirt would look nice with a crocheted trim. Or the neckline of a favorite t-shirt could be dressed up nicely with a touch of crochet.

Would love to win this book!

MGM


Jenn R. said ... I am a hoarder of tote bags, specifically the free ones which always get turned inside out because they're usually ugly. This would be a fantastic way to pretty them up so that I'll use them, instead of flinging them on the hook and never taking them!


angela said ... Oh I would definitely adorn my new jeans. My favorite old...now too big...pair of jeans had some fab embroidery but my new jeans are plain. I'd love to make them more me! Thanks for a chance to win such a great book!


Lisa said ... Oh! Thanks for doing the giveaway!

I have a favorite summer shirt with a little stain on it. My thought was to embroider over it but I am more of a crocheter than an embroider (as that shirt got a stain last year and it still sitting in my drawer!) so I would definitely work on it!!


Blaize said ... This is one time where I really really wish I had good luck at winning things. I looked at this book online and realized I couldn't afford it right this minute.

Since I buy most of my clothes at thrift stores, en-prettying them with my newly-learned crochet skilz is something I would love to do. I have this one sweater that I bought that had an elbow hole and finally, after teaching myself crochet in March, I was able to fix the hole with a spiral crochet design. Now what I want to do is have decorative ways to cover the holes and stains that sometimes accompany thrift-store and garage-sale clothes, where you buy something even if it has troubles, because it's a dollar.

So, basically, I want this book for every single project it has.


Avital said ... I would love to add a wee bit panache to an everyday T-Shirt with an embroidered brooch. Technically, I can move the brooch around and upgrade any piece of clothing :)

Thank you so much for the chance to win a copy of this amazing book.


Justine said ... I think I'd want to embellish some jackets and an old fatigue shirt I have that I wear as a coat. Maybe my Converses... And I'd definitely like to try adapting some of the motifs to see if I could get them to work with my cane...


Colleen said ... Ah! I keep on seeing ads for this book and it looks SO good!! If i'd won i would recon some teeshirts and tanktops for back to school!


BeckyS said ... What a great book! I add lots of different embellishments to my daughters clothes. She has a really plain denim skirt that is just crying out for something. I just may have to look for this book for ideas! (Like those adorable birds.. just love those birds!)


GerryH said ... My Classic Cable sweater, the one the moths nibbled, is a perfect candidate for crocheted embellishments. I've just finished my third Starling bag loving each new bag more than the previous.
Even the Starling could use embellishments.
This book would fill the hole in my crochet book library.


Kimberly said ... I have a plain black tote that would look much nicer with some embellishment. I think I'd make those birds for my grandmother, too. (Pins, so she could embellish anything she wanted to!)


Kathleen Marsh said ... This is a no-brainer. I just finished a starling handbag in black cotton, and I decided it needs a big crocheted flower or something to embellish it. What perfect timing!


Janet Hyland said ... I have a couple of cardigans that I would love to embellish ready for the winter nice big flowers from my stash


Ellie said ... Wow. This is a great book. My first thing would be to make an applique for my friend's baby. Wouldn't the birds or flowers look so pretty sewn onto a onesie?

But OH the possibliities for me are endless! I think i'd start with making some hair clips.


Liana said ... I would embellish my daughters plain t-shirts and make them more colorfully and eye appealing. Specifically those super cute birds would be awesome!


Elizabeth said ... I know we're talking about embellishing clothes here, but I'd love to make some birdies, super starch them, and make a breezy mobile. Otherwise, I have more than one pillowcase that could be a top with a crochet yoke!


Melissa Hayes said ... I'd definitely do the tshirt modification. I'm thinking of doing it where the crocheted part would be a contrasting color to the tank top part, though I do love the matching color option as well.

So hard to choose!


Carmen said ... With a copy of this book, I would immediately update all my tees with the beautiful patterns shown in the photos to bring it up to this season's fashion w/o spending money on new clothes. I may even combine all those ideas into a design of my own--just looking at the photos you posted gives me ideas for pillows, towels, even embellishing a few bedspreads. Yes, let it be me!


bec said ... wow! i am excited for this book. i have a couple of sweaters that need some help. and that is what i would plan to do from this book...


Linda D said ... I would dress up some older throw pillows that are in bad need of an update. Thanks for a chance to win!


lindsey said ... I have a wonderful summer top that has a small hole oo the right shoulder area. I'd love to cover that hole with some cool flowers.


Carly Murray said ... I have a blouse that just seems blah lately. I'd love to jazz it up a bit - but cool jazz, not 'i have nothing to do with my time and has anyone seen my meds" jazz. :-)


SarahL said ... This book looks amazing! I would like to make accessories using the motifs to adorn necklaces, earrings, headbands, pins, and more.


Teddi said ... I would totally love this book! I'm sure I could find a million things to embellish, but what comes to mind first is a sweater I have that has developed a few little holes. I would love to be able to fix it myself and add some flair in the process!


mia said ... They should have named the book Crochet ~ Adorable! T-shirts, totes, jeans, skirts, sweaters...I can think of something in each category that needs immediate treatment!


Kelly said ... I have a Creamsicle orange knit robe that I swan around in every morning. I hang it on the back of a door on a hook and over time gently worn hook-spots appeared that finally became holes. I think a neckline of crocheted blossoms would be less shabby and more chic. I'm also having a difficult time committing to a Starling embellishment. A crocheted motif on a bar pin, like a badge for bravery, would see me through to a more integrated adornment. Thank you for the review.


Nickcole said ... I would love to add some crochet to this white skirt I have. Some lovely white flowers would be great I think.


Salihan said ... Spring is coming up here and I tend to where boring cotton cardigans for the chill. I would love to spruce them up a bit with some lovely crochet pieces or borders. The book looks great! Thanks for the giveaway. :)


Jachicue said ... Hats! I'm so excited for fall and winter, and being able to wear hats with some of those adorable birds.


Giagirl said ... Purses!! Thanks for sharing these wonderful images. This book is a definite must for my crafting library.


Kacy said ... I just bought some cheap-o fitted T-shirts, mostly to wear under stuff for a layered look. But now I'm thinking they would be super cute with crocheted embellishments. Those birds are adorable. What a fun book!


Jennie said ... I'm thinking about my white t-shirt or a sweater for my cutie pie daughter.
Jennie


amanda said ... what a beautiful book, I'd love to use these to add onto my daughters plain dresses,and make her a mini tote.
Amanda.x.


Gwen said ... I would love to add that bird to some t-shirts I've recently noticed have holes or small stains.


natalyn said ... I have a few t-shirts and tanks that I love to wear that could use an injection of new life into them!


Cath said ... I have a wonderful old space dyed dress in heavy t-shirt material that has developed a small hole about hip height. I'd love to use some embelishments to hide the hole and update the dress.


Jennifer Rose said ... hmm I guess I would have to make a trim to put on the cuffs and button edges on one of my coats. Its a pretty plain beige coat that could use a bit of colour to it


Mariellen said ... I think T-shirts and totes, as others have mentioned, would be musts. I'd also embellish some little pretties I make for my 5-year-old very-girlie niece. And then I can see some hair doo-dads for my waist-length hair. Ooh, so many ideas popping into my head!!


katk said ... I was just thinking yesterday that I want to crochet edgings around the bottom of a pair of leggings, so make them a little more sweet and romantic. Also, I've got a plain pair of linen house slippers, and I'd like to crochet lacy triangles to stitch on top!


De'Anna said ... What a great book, thanks for the review. I would love to put some of those birds on one of the starling bags.
I have a wrap around towel for after the shower that could use some cute art :)


Carmen said ... I've been cutting open the fronts of long sleeved t-shirts to make light cardigans, and they definitely need embellishment! I love those trees, too.


Janelle said ... OOOOOOHHHH!!!! I would like to see a denim skirt or jeans embellished. This book looks so cool. Thanks for sharing!


Rachel said ... I would like to embellish some camis to wear under suit jackets for work. I have to dress pretty professionally for work - but I could jazz it up with some embellishment!

Ooooh - also embellishing some t-shirts to add some length to some that have gotten a little short over time. The pictures you posted showed mostly embellishing the neckline but I think embellishing at the bottom of shirts would be great too and a great look for fall!


Dana V. said ... How cute would a crocheted skirt hem be? VERY CUTE!


jacqui said ... i was just wearing a brown tank top yesterday when i noticed the lace at the top was starting to unravel. what a perfect thing to add crochet to! i have a few tank tops that could use some crocheted embellishment!!


Courtney said ... Oooh, my needlecraft group would just eat this book up! Infact, I was sharing your saga of the flower purse at our last meeting. Keep it up, your blog is lovely.


Maitreya said ... cool looking book! I just got a ton of doilies made by my great aunts and great grandma and have benn looking for ideas on what to use them for.


Sherri I said ... I have a blouse that would work well as a canvas to adorn. Wearing Art! Thanks for the giveaway.


Maya said ... I sewn dresses for my daughter & I would love to have crochet embellishments for the dresses. I love your blog very much & would love to have a copy of this book...


Kari said ... My Craft: skirt from a few years back on Whip Up is dying for some monochromatic adornment!

And, I just happen to be a brand spankin new crocheter!


Victoria M. said ... Being on a budget, I'd like to use this book to touch up Goodwill finds, and also revamp last years wardrobe. I have a few generic Old Navy tanks in mind, in fact.


Jessica said ... I have a really pretty, slightly sparky tanktop, that is my perfect fit and length. However, I broke one of the straps. I think either a yoke, or maybe some crochet chain straps with matching crocheted embellishments?


Kalliope said ... I love these ideas! As a 17 year old crocheter, I am constantly trying to incorporate my crafting into "hip" clothes I can wear everyday.

I think a crocheted tank top or a flower hippie head-band would totally make my friends jealous -- and want to learn how to crochet as well!


Esther said ... i love your website and the tutorials. You inspired me to learn crochet and now i'm making starling handbags for my friends :)

With this book, i'm thinking of doing motif bags and adding embellishments like the lovely birds to quilts and pillow cases.


laura said ... I've only very slightly dabbled in crochet over the years and always leave it to one side for so long that I can't carry on with it until I see my sister (who lives in another country!) so that she can remind me how to crochet. I'd love to have a book with small/quick projects and great instructions (the photos of swatches are a great idea) to help me become a more independent crocheter :)

I LOVE the trees bag (got a woolly tree thing going on at the moment in general) but I'd love to just be able to make little pins and things to jazz up the lapel of my winter coat, things that I could swap around as the mood took me. Planning ahead to winter already... I'm so organised (ha!).


Beth said ... I make one-of-a-kind vests from recycled jeans. These are perfect for them!


Francesca said ... Oh, what a book! I don't think there ISN'T a piece of clothing I wouldn't like to modify with crochet embelishments! At the moment, I'm struggling with trying to make a crochet necklace (don't necklaces count as clothing:)?). Thanks for the review.


Angie said ... What a great book! I have this starling handbag that I just made and need to embellish. I love the trees and the birds. They'd both look great on the handbag!


Ashley said ... I would love to spruce up a couple of my favorite 3/4 sleeve shirts. They are a bit stretchy and comfy, but I got stains on them. They are small, but still noticeable. Also, I have a really cute black dress shirt, but the sleeves are now too short. I would love to shorten the sleeves and add a special detail to the edge.


Anna said ... I have a couple of tshirts that I would like to add crochet embellishments to as well as a cardigan and maybe a new tote bag for the market.


heathers said ... I'm thinking that a nice row of lacey flowers might be just the thing for my daughter's jeans which are just a little too short but still fit in the waist!


Karin @ made by k said ... The first thing I'd do is some big flowers or something (like the cover photo) to stick over a small logo on an otherwise great shirt.


Mikaela said ... I'd like to pretty up a simple, unbleached linen shirt with natural coloured thread. I think I'd cut out a section in the upper back, and either side of the buttons on the front, then fill these holes with simple crochet patterns. The perfect shirt for late summer evenings by the sea.


Sarah said ... Ooh, Ooh I really must have this book! Those trees are just crying out to live on an off-white cotton sweater I have...and the red motifs would be great on a top for my daughter (she has so many and some are just, well, needy :)...and the birds (a flock of them) would be precious as a mobile for my granddaughter.

So many ideas, so little time!

Gotta have it!! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!




Kirstin Juul said ... Hey futuregirl.....
Thanks for the info. I used to knit but got far away from it when I went back to school. This would be a great way to learn something new and fun that I can add to my handbags and purses.



Melissa said ... I've never modded an article of clothing with crochet (but I only started crocheting a month ago). I really like wearing those simple solid color shirts from Old Navy -- and they are usually on sale or cheap enough to get several in different colors I can see how some fancy scalloped collars and flower brooches would look fab on them!


Michelle said ... I would love to embellish a t-shirt, modify the top by making a square cut and crochet with motifs all up the front and back. I would also love to use some of those cool crochet trims to add to the bottom of a skirt and add a few of the birds. Yessss, that book does inspire! Thanks for your review and the chance to win the book. How exciting!!! :))))))) (That is my excited happy face)


Kate said ... I think I would add some crochet to a shirt or two... I have a tendency to spill random foods or drinks on shirts, so maybe a little crochet could cover some spots and make some shirts look brand new!


Helen said ... I've been waiting for this to come out! Great review. With three little girls in the house, there are a TON of things that I could embellish - tees, skirts, jean jackets, bags, hats, the list is endless!


Terhi said ... I love the tank top idea! I would also want to modify some bags and curtains with the help of those patterns. :)


Kristin said ... I think the tank top idea is super cute. I also think adding an embellishment on the bottom of a tank would be super cute as well. I like to layer my clothes and the bottom of my tank top often hangs out lower than my shirt so it would look cool hanging out like that!


Elysia said ... a skirt. I have a light grey skirt that comes to my knee and the birds or a flower would be so cute on it!!


Cait said ... My favorite sweatshirt needs an upgrade - my whole wardrobe could use help, actually! Those bird appliques would be adorable.


Pearl said ... Oh man, what wouldn't I "cute up" in my wardrobe. I have two wool sweaters that my cat ate holes in that I cannot part with and my most favorite stretched out tank top sitting on top of my mending pile at the moment.


SHelly WOod said ... OOoh....such a good question. Can I have 2 answers?? :) First would be this luscious black crocheted purse I rescued from a resale store....me thinks it needs some embellishing. She's got good bones.....but needs a little oomph!! Second, I have this adorable cropped black jacket I bought last season on clearance that again, needs dome jazzing up so as to be ready for cooler temps.


tori said ... my husband and i are moving your way from texas in about 4 days and in anticipation of living in a state with seasons i got a great black pea coat. one of those birds or a beautiful flower from the cover photo would be a great splash of color :)


Caroline JK said ... so many ideas! I have a stash of clothes in my craft room that need love, for various reasons. I would love to sit with them and the book and just get cracking!


Trish said ... I have a bunch of tank tops that could use some prettyfying! This book would be a great way to help me get started with that.


Kelly said ... Godness the options. I think I would either alter one of my materninty tops or maybe a plain diaper bag.

Either way I can't go wrong. Thanks for the giveaway!

Kelly


Sheri said ... T-shirts! I love that tank too!


Ter said ... adding crochet embellishments to a hula costume would look great --- crochet flower leis --- i can just see it now!


monica said ... I have a couple of tired cardigans that would really benefit from a makeover!!

what a gorgeous book...


monica said ... I have a couple of tired cardigans that would really benefit from a makeover!!

what a gorgeous book...


monica said ... I have a couple of tired cardigans that would really benefit from a makeover!!

what a gorgeous book...


carissa said ... I would add birdies to a shirt. This book looks amazing!


Kate said ... Oh hands down, I'd start with the bag - I think I'd make an embellished bag (with trees) but then crochet a number of elements (birds, a bird's nest, etc) and make them into brooches that I'd pin to the bag. They'd be cute, but also removable for use on other garments. I'd probably also make a hat/scarf to coordinate with the whole thing (and I'd walk around completely unashamed of being that crazy crochet lady in the crocheted outfit - helloooo 1970!)


Nikki Painter said ... I love to crochet clothes for babies, toddlers and girls. So these would really compliment those as well as some of the clothing my daughters already have that need a good update ;)

Great giveaway! Thanks :)


Janna said ... I think I'd go for a tunic first, maybe of the artist's apron variety with pockets low on the front. There would be lots of opportunities...aforementioned pockets, the placket, the collar, the yoke, the hem...but I'd pick just a few spots for embellishment and go with large-scale hits. I've had great luck embellishing jeans for my young daughters, too.


Katy said ... I have a five-year old daughter, and she would LOVE crocheted embellishments on her clothing!


elvie tomae said ... I taught myself how to crochet this past January and I have been consumed ever since! I would adorn little tanks & sweaters & purses for my little niece! She loves animals and little birds would be perfect! I have a big niece too. For her it would have to be something hip, mod, and possibly in the form of a purse or bag in some really cool color combination! Just maybe a really cool wide head band to hold her beautiful red hair just so! Whew! You got me all a whirl!!!


MichelleB said ... I would decorate some $2 tanks that I got at Old Navy.


Bev C said ... Oh I would love to win this book. I had a lovely crochet book that had some lovely patterns in it including instructions for trichot I lent it to someone and never got it back. I would decorate a blouse with those lovely birds. Aren't they just so special. Happy days.


Panya said ... I'd embellish a skirt.


ipanda said ... Do I still have a chance...
I'd like to modify my ordinary t-shirt.
I think this book would make my cloths much more interested.

By the way, you did excellent job for the book review..
I really wanna have it for myself :)
I've been reading your blog for awhile and this is my first comment. I really like your stories;) Thanks a lot to sharing with us. Keep it going...


Michelle said ... i wonder who the lucky person is..


Katrin said ... I would so go for the adorned tank tops! I have quite some crochet thread laying around that I could use for filigre sttaps and such.


emily said ... i want to adorn a dress.. sort of like red tank top picture, but for dress straps instead. by the way, it looks like a FABULOUS book!


Helen said ... I have the ideal dress for this. It's made of jersey material and is really pretty plain but would look gorgeous with a crocheted flower neckline, or even back. This book is just the thing I've been looking for!


Gaby said ... Wow!! I barely made it, i think!

I would loooove to have it!!!

Thanks :D


Alice said ... my socks. I might look 5, but I would like it.


Jayne said ... I agree, the red tank looks fun to make. What a great way to make the old new again too!


Lynna said ... I love all things crafty, but knitting and crocheting are two things I have always struggled with. This book looks so easy to follow, and I love the tank modified with a crochet yoke. Since it's August that would need to be my first attempt for sure.
Thank you for the opportunity to win!


Daisy said ... I'd love to decorate my daughters jeans....cute crocheted flowers of all sizes and colors.

Tracy Bull said ... squeaking in at the last minute... I would love this book to help me (finally) make a blanket! But I'd also love it to adorn a tote or a cardigan :)


Patsy said ... I am working on baby onsies and diaper shirts for new grandbaby. I think a little dainty crotcheted adornment would be great!!! Just found your blog and I love it!!


Laura said ... So I work in a lab, and ALL of my shirts get these little holes from leaning against the benches such that I can reach the shelves. Embelishing them would not only save them from the trash pile, but it would also make them super-cute and the envy of lab dorks everywhere!


Kathi said ... Looks like an awsome book. I love to make things for friends and my family. The totebags are cute!
