Kaari Meng’s shop French General is an oasis of lovely linens, sparkly beads, and vintage notions all tucked away in sweet cottage in the heart of Hollywood. If you can’t get there in person, you can console yourself with her beautiful book, French General: Home Sewn. Inside you’ll find 30 simple yet stylish projects for the home created from drool-worthy textiles collected from Parisian flea markets and elsewhere. I love how the rustic charm of the projects, such as the Bread-Warming Seeded Bag for the supper table, Washing Mitts made from hemp fabric, and linen-backed Wall Hangings–and the book includes embroidery transfer patterns which add an extra personal touch.
There are a few special events coming up (in NYC, LA, and Claremont, CA) where you can help celebrate the release of French General: Home Sewn. Be sure to check one of them out soon! The first one happens next week at the gorgeous shop Tinsel Trading Co.–be sure to RSVP pronto to ensure a place in the class.
