As a longtime fan of James Lileks's Institute of Official Cheer, this sort of snarky commentary on vintage items looked right up my alley. And yes, it's decently funny, but I only chuckled aloud a handful of times. The pictures range from amusing to creepy, but it just seems to be lacking something intangible. Maybe color - several of the pages made references to the (generally godawful) colors in the photos, which of course were printed in black and white, and on a few occasions made the jokes fall a little flat. It doesn't help that the back cover copy includes quotes that don't actually appear anywhere in the book. I suppose there may be folks who would find this uproariously funny, but to me it was just kind of meh. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
A hilarious look at the home-sewing and crafting crazes of the last several decades,Threadbaredis a parade of pictures of the “fabulous” clothes and “darling” decorative items that sent people rushing to their sewing machines, knitting bags, and local notions shops. These vintage photographs from instruction booklets and patterns may bring a smile to your face, but the sassy, snarky commentary provided by Kimberly and Mary will have you in stitches. Inside, you’ll find everything from speculation about why 1950s sewing patterns models had such incredibly small waists (Girdles? Malnutrition? Tapeworms?) to commentary on ladies’ fashion (“Is there anything sexier than a woman who sews her own underwear?”), to all-too-vivid reminders that the ’60s wasn’t just the Age of Aquarius—it was also the Age of Macramé! Laying bare the hideous history of homemade treasures,Threadbaredleads crafters, wannabes, and don’t-wannabes alike to ponder the age-old question: Did anyone really think this stuff looked good?
