Quick to Make : Stylish Gifts to Craft in a Day (Threads On)
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Craft-it-fast items generally have a thrown-together, inelegant look, but not so the 31 sophisticated projects in Quick to Make. Culled from the column of the same name in the popular Threads magazine, this guide is filled with charming ideas for scarves, bracelets, bags, boxes, pillows, buttons, belts, and much more. Interesting techniques include burn-out velvet, rubber-stamped fabrics, ribbon work, and photocopy transfer onto polymer clay. In the tradition of the magazine, the directions are excellent, the photographs are beautiful, and the finished products are classy enough that you'll be proud to give them to chic friends--although you may be tempted to keep them for yourself. --Amy Handy
Book Description
This hands-on guide from the editors of Threads magazine shows how sewing projects can be fun and productive without requiring enormous amounts of time and material. Since its inception in 1995, the “Quick to Make” column has been a popular feature in Threads, and this book collects its best articles. These small projects, explained step by step, provide an opportunity to try out new techniques, or test a special fabric that is too expensive to buy in large amounts. All of the projects lend themselves to gift giving, and many of them can be made from the bits and pieces lying around the sewing area. 35 complete projects and 200 color photos and illustrations are featured.
