Featuring a stunning collection of 15 scandi-style garments and accessories, this book will show you how to use fabric offcuts and remnants to transform your style. Divided up into two chapters covering the core techniques to make the most of your scraps and moving on to show you how best to put them to use though the 15 project designs including pleated trousers, bucket hat, quilted jacket, patchwork dress, scrap tote and more.
