DIY Fashionista

Another week and another brand new book to share with you folks; DIY is a big thing in the blogging world so I think this might be of interest to a lot of you; it certainly was to me!

DIY Fashionista by Geneva Vanderzeil contains 40 stylish DIY projects to re-invent and update your wardrobe without breaking the bank.
With step-by-step guides and instructions on the basics you don’t need to be a pro to use these ideas. The pictures and steps are clear and easy to follow (even I can understand them) and I can’t wait to give some of the projects a go.

This book, published by Carlton in Hardback in October 2012 priced at £16.99 is a worthy addition for any DIY loving blogger and with Christmas fast approaching would be a good one to pop on your list (or, if feeling generous to buy for someone else!)

What do you think? Are you a DIY fan? I’ve never really attempted much myself, I often find blog and youtube tutorials somewhat confusing but this book makes it clear as day and I am hoping to brave it and get crafting!

Big thank you to Carlton for sending me a copy of the book.

    This looks fab – I’ve always been too scared of looking like a 5-year-old had made my clothes to give DIY a go, but I’m itching to try it out now!

  7. I’m horrible with DIY, I’m just not crafty enough.

  8. Oh, I like! I have several DIY and crafting books but I’m the kind of person that looks longingly at them but never actually does any of the fun stuff. I put it down to my sewing machine HATING me.
