Beautiful handmade gifts for all occasions. Present Perfect offers projects that can be sewn as gifts for all of life's major celebrations: birthdays, graduations, bar and bat mitzvahs, new homes, new babies, or simply "just because." Author Betz White has developed projects that demonstrate impeccable workmanship while being achievable by sewists with a range of abilities, from enthusiastic beginner to advanced adventurer. Projects include toys, baby gear, bags and accessories for women and men, and beautiful items for the hostess or home. While each project is made with new readily available fabrics, an underlying, subtle theme of this book is the reuse of materials, whether it's a felted sweater unearthed at a thrift store or a vintage tablecloth inherited from a beloved grandmother. Several projects include a "Stitched with Meaning" sidebar that suggests materials that can be successfully upcycled in place of new fabrics. This will appeal to people who share Betz's eco concerns.
