Learn to Make Children's Clothes Author: Locke, Sue ISBN: 1-55562-014-0 Pages: 64 Format: Hardcover Publisher: Olympic Marketing Corp Published: April 1987 Condition: Price: USD $1.99  From Publishers Weekly: The color photographs of children in appealing, imaginative togs in an array of stylish colors will inspire even experienced seamsters. And simple instructions for quick-sew, mix-and-match patterns make the book accessible to novices as well. Locke, consultant sewing editor of Parents magazine, includes such tips as how to avoid buttons and buttonholes and use facile press-on fasteners instead, or reduce the bulk of four layers of material in the crotch of children's trousers to make stubborn, curved seams lie flat. Locke instills confidence as she offers two simple types of patterns. In the first, measurements of pieces of fabric are provided, and readers must use these measurements to cut the fabric directly. The other type is a graph showing the pattern pieces reduced in size on a squared grid. To obtain a life-size pattern, readers learn how to copy the pattern pieces onto squared dressmakers' paper of the correct scale. Better Homes and Gardens Book Clubs selection.

Beadwork Basics Author: Benson, Ann ISBN: 0-8069-0877-7 Pages: 128 Format: Hardcover Publisher: Sterling Publishing Co., Inc. Published: November 1994 Condition: Price: USD $3.29 From Booklist: Maybe the word basics sets up certain expectations, but Benson manages to discuss in the space of a few pages--in the introduction and in concluding paragraphs--bead fundamentals, including necessary tools and different techniques (peyote stitch, brick stitch, and bead weaving, among others). Twenty-nine projects constitute the meat of the book, each with color photographs, materials list, directions, and, if necessary, charts, diagrams, and a key to the various sizes of beads. Among the projects are cobalt-and-gold cabochon earrings, a beaded bouquet clutch bag, stickpins and barrettes, and a pin with the visage of Marilyn Monroe. Unfortunately, beginners will find the projects a bit frustrating, since the basics of beadwork are not only separate from the patterns but abbreviated in description as well. Barbara Jacobs Book Description: "Benson manages to discuss in the space of a few pages...bead fundamentals, including necessary tools and different techniques."- Booklist. "An endless choice for the creative artist wishing to bead accessories with flair."-Country Folk Art. "Add some sparkle to your life!"-Lapidary Journal.
