Weldon's Practical Needlework, Vol. 7
The "practical" knick-knacks you can make from crêpe paper - lampshades, flowerpot covers, holders for their feather dusters - are truly astonishing.
The "practical" knick-knacks you can make from crêpe paper - lampshades, flowerpot covers, holders for their feather dusters - are truly astonishing. As with the previous volumes, this one includes numerous projects to knit and crochet, and many are indeed fanciful such as an adorable "Baby's Glove in Brioche Knitting," a sweet toy lamb to crochet, and a little vest knitted in one long piece and folded like origami. Ecclesiastical embroidery is presented, as well as exotic Japanese-inspired bead and bamboo curtains. Item #: 02NW3
ISBN: 1-931499-18-7
152 pages
Dimensions: 9" x 12"
Truly a view into another time! I haven't made any of the projects yet, but just reading the book is an enjoyable trip into "Upstairs Downstairs". Many of the instructions are clear and call for things that are available today.
