Creative Crafts and Stitchery
Author: Better Homes and Gardens

What can you expect to find in this large and coloful volume that guides you through the fascinating world of craft and stitchery projects? Here's a brief glimpse. This 288 page book features 146 designer projects together with photos of each project, diagrams, and drawings where it is necessary to make construction easier for the reader, a li... more »st of materials for each project(these are readily available in every community) tools,(unless they are the ordinary ones found in most households), and complete, easy to follow directions. In addition to the complete how-to instructions, each technique has a glossary of terms and drawings of the basic stitches or procedures for handy reference. Along with detailed instructions for each project, readers are urged to adapt these designs, patterns, and color schemes to their own taste so that the finished items reflect their personality. Realizing that people of all ages and interests, in all parts of the country, will want this book in their family library, a great deal of thought was given to the choice of projects given. Included are fashion accessories, and stylish clothing for all ages and every member of the family, decorative accessories and functional furniture items for every room in the home and fanciful one-of-a-kind toys that will elicit chuckles from the youngsters who receive them. All were chosen for function and beauty plus the fact that they are fun to make. Creative Crafts and Stitchery is divided into two sections - the first half is devoted to the most popular stitchery areas; the second half, to equally high-ranking crafts. Under the stitchery category, you will find embroidery of all kinds, needlepoint, applique, sewing, knitting, and crocheting. The last half of the book includes hooking and weaving, picture framing, woodworking, nature crafts and more craft techniques - restoring trunks, metalwork, rosemaling, stenciling and painting, decoupage, macralap, art from the oven and sculpting. Within each of these stitchery and craft areas, projects range from simple to complex. Some are geared for novices in the world of stitchery and crafts; others offer a challenge to the experienced hobbyist. Whether your knowledge of these crafts is little or great, you will find many items suited to your talents that you can create in your leisure hours. Some projects can be completed in a single evening and others require many hours of working on painstaking details.
