Scrap Crafts: From McCall’s Needlework & Crafts, 9780442282042
Most people who sew or do some kind of needlework tend to accumulate sraps of lovely fabric, embroidery floss, or yarn, which often go unused for want of appropriate projects. Many people also look for things that are relatively easy to make and inexpensive. Scrap Crafts answers all of these needs. It provides dozens of designs that use small amounts of fabric and other materials to create attractive and useful personal accessories, decorative accents for every part of the home, and toys and other items of special interest to children of all ages. The projects also involve a number of different sewing and needlework techniques in addition to knit and crochet and cut-and-paste work with fabric. Instructions for all the techniques used in the book are either provided with a particular project or they are given in a special section at the back of the book, along with all the embroidery stitches and the basic drections for knitting and crocheting.
