An interesting book that uses scarves, sweaters, men’s XL tees and handkerchiefs for reconstruction. I love the ingenious idea of inverting sleeves to make pockets for a skirt! These scans are a few of my favorite reconstruct projects in the book.

The title of this book is “Sweets & Wrapping”, where the word “sweets” in this case, actually refers to confections. Inside, there are recipes for making green tea coated chocolates, chocolate dipped orange peel, tartlets and other small confections. Complimented with zakka-inspired wrapping ideas and beautiful photography, this is a lovely paperback to add to anyone’s collection.
