Monsieur Notebook Brown Leather Sketch Landscape A5
Hide Stationery Ltd

Summary
For too long, the notebook has been saddled with a less-than-stellar reputation; the word itself conjures up
images of sixth-grade homerooms and cheap paper covers tearing away from spiral bindings. Monsieur Notebooks
are crafted from an entirely different perspective: the belief that a good notebook can be a great companion,
something to be treasured. These books come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors and are made out of top-
grain leather that is inherently strong and flexible. They feel great, smell good, and wear beautifully. So whether
users are taking them along on far-flung adventures or just subjecting them to the grind of daily life (and the
bottom of a messenger bag), these tough notebooks remain the perfect place to record work, notes, sketches,
or sudden flashes of inspiration.

Monsieur Notebook Green Leather Plain A6
Hide Stationery Ltd

Summary
For too long, the notebook has been saddled with a less-than-stellar reputation; the word itself conjures up
images of sixth-grade homerooms and cheap paper covers tearing away from spiral bindings. Monsieur Notebooks
are crafted from an entirely different perspective: the belief that a good notebook can be a great companion,
something to be treasured. These books come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors and are made out of top-
grain leather that is inherently strong and flexible. They feel great, smell good, and wear beautifully. So whether
users are taking them along on far-flung adventures or just subjecting them to the grind of daily life (and the
bottom of a messenger bag), these tough notebooks remain the perfect place to record work, notes, sketches,
or sudden flashes of inspiration.

The Beauty of Craft


Sandy Brown, Maya Kumar Mitchell

Summary
Craftspeople usually leave their work to speak for itself, so it is a rare privilege to have the thoughts, stories,
experiences, observations, and feelings of such skilled people in a book. Most have been featured in Resurgence,
the longest running UK environmental magazine, which regularly features crafts and their connection with
spirituality, ecology, and sustainable, joyful living. The work of these craftspeople comes from a great dedication
to their craft and the sincerity with which they integrate their philosophy with daily life-in much the same way
that their bowls and baskets, chairs and tables, shoes and spoons are art for daily use. These essays, with
beautiful accompanying color photographs, encourage us to have faith in the human spirit and the human
endeavor.

What's In a Name?
PatrickGeorge

Summary
Two books in one, this collection of graphic representations of 100 male names flips over to reveal a book of 100
female names-both chock full of wonderfully expressive graphic design and typography

From Aaron to Will and Angie to Wendy, common names get an illustrative treatment by PatrickGeorge founder
Peter Scott. They are revealed in a realignment of their letters, visually represented, or just implied-making some
enjoyably obvious and others tantalizingly obscure. What is hidden in Marshall, Phoebe, Jack, Harry, or Adam?
What do most people think of when they read Carrie, Olive, or Benjamin? This collection brilliantly and graphically
conveys one set of associations with these names.

Milling
Stan Bray

Summary
From a craftsman with a lifetime's experience in engineering and metalworking, a detailed guide to milling, a vital
part of the engineer's and the model engineer's armory
With the aid of photographs and specially prepared drawings, this guide covers different types of milling
machines and describes milling techniques. Milling is the process of cutting away material-usually, but not
exclusively, metal-by feeding a piece of work past a rotating multiple-tooth cutter. The cutting action of the
teeth of the milling cutter provides a fast method of machining, and the machines surface may be flat, angular,
or curved. The surface may also be milled to any combination of shapes. Offering plenty of advice and warnings
of potential pitfalls, this is the perfect companion for the amateur engineer.

SCHNELL UND STEINER

Inlaid Patchwork in Europe from 1500 to the Present


Summary
This is the very first volume to document, introduce, and discuss a wide range of inlaid patchworks created from
1500 to the present day. The featured objects are held by various museums and private collections in Europe,
Australia, and the United States. As this study shows, what unites these coverlets and occasionally sizable wall
hangings is the method of their creation: a unique manner of fabricating ornate textile images from cut pieces of
leftover woolen cloth. The topics addressed by their designs and motifs range from religious and ornamental
iconography to episodes in European history. In addition, the catalog provides a basis for further interdisciplinary
research. Ideal for culture historians, textile scientists and enthusiasts, and artists, this fascinating consideration
outlines the socio-historical contexts, extraordinary production technique, and vibrant imagery of these objects.

The Secrets of Elemental Quilting


Innovative Quilting Designs plus Trapunto Tips & Tricks
Karen McTavish

Summary
Focusing on design rather than technique, this guide demonstrates how a motif can be rotated, reflected, or
repeated to create an entirely new quilt pattern. Thirty base elements are provided in several sizes for easy
tracing, scanning, or photocopying, and step-by-step instructions explain how to arrange copies of the chosen
element to create border, corner, block, or frame designs. Illustrations show examples of assembled patterns,
and the last chapter provides directions for adding trapunto, a padding technique that adds depth and definition.
The DVD counterpart brings the discussion to life as the author creates a custom quilt design based on a single
geometric figure, marks a quilt top, and demonstrates three different trapunto projects.

Thomas Lester, His Lace and the East Midlands Industry 1820-1905
Anne Buck

Summary
The 19th century saw a sad decline in the fortunes of the English handmade lace industry, yet in the East
Midlands the period also witnessed some of its most interesting and remarkable designs. A key figure in this
achievement was the Bedford lace merchant Thomas Lester. This book sets his designs and the development of
his family business against the fashions of the period, the conditions in the industry and of its workers, and the
relentless competition from machine made lace.

Summary
A comprehensive reference book that provides techniques and patterns on Bedfordshire lace for the modern

Bedfordshire lace, its history, and its fine and varied designs-particularly those of Thomas Lester and his sons,

In the Cause of English Lace


The Life and Work of Catherine C. Channer 1874-1949
Catherine Channer, Anne Buck

Summary
Catherine Channer's committment to the handmade lace industry and its workers, and her first-hand knowledge
of each, are illustrated in her book Lacemaking in the Midlands Past and Present, written in cooperation with her
friend Margaret Roberts. Although published 90 years ago, this book has few modern rivals, and is reprinted here
for the first time within a more extensive work by Anne Buck. As a young museum assistant at Luton, Anne Buck
took private lessons in lacemaking from Catherine Channer and provides here a memoir of her life and career as a
lacemaker, designer, teacher, and trader. She includes an account of the Lace Associations, with which Miss
Channer became involved, and of their attempts to form a new framework for the industry. Finally, she shows
how lacemaking evolved from a poorly paid cottage industry into a popular craft.

The Needlework of Mary Queen of Scots


Margaret Swain

Summary
A significant work in the history of costume and textiles, shedding new light on little known aspects of Mary
Queen of Scots' life

Although a large body of needlework has always been attributed to Mary Queen of Scots, little attempt was
made to authenticate these pieces or to explain how so energetic and impetuous a woman could have found
pleasure in the meticulous craft of embroidery. This is the first comprehensive study of the Queen as a
needlewoman, describing all the works associated with her. Every piece marked by her cipher or monogram is
illustrated in full. A biographical outline provides the framework for understanding her work by setting it in the

Knit One Below


One Stitch, Many Fabrics
Elise Duvekot

Summary
The bright idea behind this guide is to build an entire collection around one simple stitch that creates many
intriguing effects. Shown in knitting instructions as "k1b" (knit 1 below), the technique involves knitting into the
stitch one row below the stitch on the needle with either a knit or a purl stitch. The result is an easy-to-knit
fabric with wonderful drape and flexibility that looks equally good on both sides. The color effects possible are
also impressive: by alternating two or more colors, weights, or fibers, flattering vertical columns appear on one
9781933064130 side of the fabric and a mottled pattern shows on the other. Making the most of this double-sided characteristic,

Weaving Textiles That Shape Themselves


Ann Richards

Summary
An inspirational and exciting book that explains the processes and potential of weaving high-twist yarns into
fabrics that are transformed by washing

Weaving with high-twist yarns and contrasting materials can create fabrics with lively textures and elastic
properties. Although these fabrics are flat on the loom, they are transformed by washing: water releases the
energy of the different yarns and the fabrics "organize themselves" into crinkled or pleated textures. This
fascinating book explains the processes and potential of this approach. With inspirational pieces, practical know-

Summary
Facsimiles of official British government WWII leaflets cover repairing, refurbishing, and recycling, and provide a
fascinating insight into how propaganda promoted national unity

With wartime England's industrial output concentrated on the war effort and a clothes ration in place by June
1940, basic clothes were in short supply in the nation and high fashion was an unknown commodity. Adults were
issued as little as 36 coupons a year to spend on clothes, but a man's suit could cost 22 coupons, a coat 16,
and a lady's dress 11. The need to recycle and be inventive with other materials became more and more
necessary, and so the government issued a series of leaflets containing advice on how to make fabric and
clothing go the extra mile. Reproduced in this intriguing collection, these pamphlets included tips on recycling
9781782430278 curtains into dresses and instructions for turning old sheets into underwear. Covering darning, patching, knitting,

count to intentionally pattern the finished work. As a contrast, further strategies and stitch choices are shown

Vintage Couture Tailoring


Thomas von Nordheim

Summary
The trade secrets of couture tailoring are revealed-an invaluable guide for professionals and enthusiasts

Traditional tailoring has not changed for many centuries, however, the techniques are now known only by a few
practicing in the best couture ateliers and bespoke tailor's workrooms. Nothing feels quite so luxurious as
custom-made clothes, but the tailoring skills they require are often thought to be shrouded in mystery, and the
clothes therefore only accessible to the rich and famous. This practical book brings vintage couture tailoring
within everyone's reach. With step-by-step photographs and professional tips throughout, it shows how a lady's

Fix Your Clothes


Raleigh Briggs

Summary
"Unless you wear seamless, zipperless indestructible coveralls, you'd had to deal with the fact that clothes are
mortal. We love them but they fail us in myriad ways...the seam that busts when you bend over. The zipper that
slips down to reveal your underpants to your co-workers." Raleigh Briggs (Make Your Place) takes us on a
mending journey through stocking your supplies, quick fixes, types of knots and stitches (like the classic punk
whipstitch!), buttons, mending seams, patching holes, darning holes, hemming, fixing zippers, waterproofing
canvas, leather, and nylon, resources, and so much more! As always Raleigh's style is simple, playful, friendly,
fun, and builds your confidence. You can do it!

A Life in Frocks
A Memoir
Kelly Doust

Summary
A personal, entertaining, exquisitely illustrated exploration of the significance of clothes, filtered through one
woman's life-long sartorial infatuation
A seductive mix of memoir, philosophies, and fantasies, this is a book for those who love clothes and find fashion
beguiling, fickle, and fabulous. For as long as she can remember, Kelly Doust has been passionate about clothes.
They are her first, and most enduring, love affair to date. Like many women, she adores the playfulness of
fashion and its endless ability to transform. She loves the ritual and drama of getting dressed, assuming different
identities in different outfits, and exploring the many facets of her personality. She buys far too many glossy
magazines, and puzzles over how she can spend half her life shopping and yet still find herself with nothing to
wear. Over the years, clothes have comforted her, given her confidence, lured lovers, made her invisible,

Will This Fabric Work for You?


Pairing Fabrics to Your Designs
Katrina Walker, Pati Palmer

Summary
By avoiding the guessing game of matching fabrics to patterns, sewing mavens can create successful garments
that are compatible with both the requirements of a pattern and the style of the wearer. Many topics central to
choosing the proper material are included here, such as fiber content and construction, weight, drape
considerations, wrinkle tendency, and finished garment care. Determining sewability includes more than design
and interfacing, so this guide instructs sewers on the finer points of reading pattern envelopes, interpreting
design guidelines, and knowing what five fabrics are easiest to sew. This DVD also includes a section on choosing
flattering fabrics so clothes coordinate throughout a wardrobe.

Keeping Up Appearances
Fashion and Class Between the Wars
Catherine Horwood

Summary
Drawing on a range of original sources, this history vividly records the experiences of clothes selection during the
interwar years, revealing the importance of dress codes to both men and women whether at home, work, or at
leisure
The British have always been concerned about accent, appearance, and class, but at no time during the
twentieth century was "keeping up appearances" more important than during the 1920s and 1930s. From the
impecunious youth anxious to create a favorable impression at the local tennis club dance to female office
workers advised by the Daily Mail that women in business kept "their position partly, if not chiefly, by
appearance," this history peers into the intimate lives and anxieties of the middle classes as they dressed to
impress. Seemingly insignificant items such as ties, gloves, and hats, could convey a lack of breeding if worn
9780752460505 incorrectly. This engagingly written and illustrated book explores the social mores behind one of society's most

Summary
The chaotic humor of family life combines with all things crafty, in this feel-good read-with patterns!

Laura Lovegrove is leaving behind her seamless life in London. Her architect husband Adi has been relocated to

student who once trawled resale shops for vintage treasures? When a fire all but destroys Laura's collection of
vintage clothes, she's heartbroken-and seriously lacking in outfits. But, salvaging what she can, Laura makes do
and mends; sewing purses, bags, and even dog leashes. Soon, she's inundated with orders. But Adi is becoming
more and more distant, as if there's something he's not telling her. Can Laura make a stitch in time and pull her

Full Busted? Sew Clothes That Fit!


Marta Alto, Pati Palmer

Summary
Created specially for full-busted women-who must often buy oversized clothing simply so they can button the
front-this interactive DVD demonstrates how ladies can sew their own clothes for a custom fit and teaches
which size patterns will best fit the neck, upper chest, and shoulder areas. Easy to play and pause during
alterations, the DVD first explores full-bust fitting basics, listing the tools needed for preparing a pattern, altering
a darted front, pin-fitting fabric, and lowering a bust dart. The presentation then tackles style challenges, such
as cut-on sleeves and tops and skirts with a twist. Further design techniques reveal how to transfer darts into
pleats and move darts virtually anywhere, while video of everyday women displays the final products. Helping to
ease both fit frustrations and wallet woes, these cost-efficient garments-including both the side-panel jacket
and the princess jacket-offer full-busted women unique style solutions they can't find in any store.

Make Do and Mend


Keeping Family and Home Afloat on War Rations
Jill Norman

Summary
With the nation's industrial output concentrated on the war effort and a clothes ration in place by June 1940,
basic clothes were in short supply in wartime England and high fashion was an unknown commodity. Adults were
issued as little as 36 coupons a year to spend on clothes, but a man's suit could cost 22 coupons, a coat 16,
and a lady's dress 11. The need to recycle and be inventive with other materials became more and more
necessary, and so the government issued a series of leaflets containing advice on how to make fabric and
clothing go the extra mile. Reproduced in this intriguing collection, these pamphlets included tips on recycling
curtains into dresses and instructions for turning old sheets into underwear. Covering darning, patching, knitting,
and more, this is a nostalgic look at the innovative thriftiness of the 1940s.

Fit for Real People (2nd Edition)


Sew Great Clothes Using ANY Pattern
Pati Palmer, Marta Alto

Summary
Presented in a new edition that adds updated pattern industry news and revised rules for selecting pattern size,
this easy and practical fitting system requires no measuring, no drafting skills, no muslin mock-ups-and it works
with all brands of tissue paper patterns. Real people of all ages are featured in photographs that explain the

tricky challenges such as accommodating a full bustline, adjusting sleeves, or reworking a garment to make it
more flattering, as well as alternative fitting methods such as draping and computer design. Metric conversion
charts, charts for comparing pattern company bodice measurements, and a history of American dress design
9780935278651 (Just where did size 10 come from?) make this book a versatile reference.

Two Sweaters for My Father


Perri Klass, MD

Summary
Beyond the garments, scarves, blankets, and sweaters, knitting offers the kind of nonmaterial rewards discussed
in these essays: the repetitive, rhythmic finger movements soothe, reduce stress, and bind a knitter to her
community. Knitting's psychological dimension is celebrated in these personal accounts of one woman's
experience knitting in the hospital, at a college reunion, and while making garments for her father and loved
ones. These thoughtful reflections reveal that the real power of knitting has more to do with what goes on in the
9781893762220
head and the heart than what happens with needles.

Costume and Design for Devised and Physical Theatre


Tina Bicat

Summary
A practical guide that outlines the differences between designing for for devised and scripted work

Costumes designed and made for devised or physical drama, for contemporary circus or for dance, differ radically
from the more traditional costume work produced for naturalistic performance. For those working in the field-
whether professional or student-these differences present challenges that this book seeks to highlight and
explain, while offering effective solutions to overcome them. It also discusses the specialized designing, cutting,
making, and fitting of costumes for dance, circus, and other physical work, as well as the role of the
designer/maker in the devising company. There are tips on design invention in the rehearsal room as well as the
9781847973726 management of both time and budget with the late changes that happen with devised work.

Artificial Gemstones
Michael O'Donoghue

Summary
Artificial gemstones have been well established in the jewel trade for some time, but following further refinements
in their manufacture, gemologists worldwide are facing increasing problems with their identification. Today, for
instance, gem-quality synthetic diamonds-once deemed impossible to produce-are becoming widely available.
The synthetic products of the past are still available as well, and often prove puzzling to newer generations of
gemologists. Starting with the theory of synthetic gem manufacture and an explanation of the production
methods used for growing and improving crystals, this definitive guide to the various manmade gem substitutes
goes on to identify all existing artificial substances. The identifying internal and external features and tests are
addressed, and color photographs illustrate the tell-tale features of both artificial and naturally occurring
substances. Gemologists, gem dealers, curators, amateurs, and students alike will find this an indispensable
resource.

Zen in the Art of Flower Arrangement


The Classic Account of the Meaning and Symbolism of the Japanese Art of Ikebana
Gustie L. Herrigel, D. T. Suzuki

Summary
Japanese masters have developed the techniques of ikebana over centuries and, while many different styles
have evolved, they all share the same fundamental principles. The art embodies aesthetic considerations,
knowledge of the natural forms of plants, and a profound understanding of the space around them. This book
explains these principles by describing the lessons learned from master arranger Bokuyo Takeda and the
underlying Zen symbolism in the art of ikebana. Readers will learn that training in ikebana is a process of
achieving spiritual enlightenment and that the craft of arranging flowers is a form of meditation. These lessons
provide a perfect escape from the stresses of everyday life and the incomparable satisfaction of creating beauty
in the home.

Forged Architectural Metalwork


Peter Parkinson

Summary
At one time, almost every town and village had a blacksmith. There are fewer smiths today, but despite the
public perception that blacksmithing belongs to a bygone era, the craft is thriving. Architectural ironwork
demands a wide spectrum of skills, from making a finely detailed drawing to forging heavy, red-hot metal bars. A
good gate, grille, or balustrade looks so self-evidently right in its setting that its origin seems almost beyond
question, but a blacksmith had to measure, design, forge, assemble, finish, and fit it in place. Written by a
leading artist blacksmith, and illustrated with nearly 250 photos and drawings, Forged Architectural Metalwork
looks at design, construction, finishing, and installation, as well as the skills required of smithworkers in the
architectural field today.

Of Dragon Wings and Faerie Things


Jillian Sawyer

Summary
Thirty-two designs for creating colorful stained glass dragons of every shape, mood, and attitude are featured in

play; from Liorth the ice dragon, who patrols the North, to Elliot the baby dragon, who just needs someone to
hug, dragon patterns for every occasion are provided. Each design includes tips for construction and a verse
that further defines the personality of each of these mythological creatures. With full-color examples, this book
