Embroiderers’ Guild Transfers Collection
An important collection of beautiful, historically significant iron-on transfer designs from the Embroiderers' Guild. The use of hot iron transfers in embroidery has a long and fascinating history, but they've often been looked down upon by serious embroiderers and have therefore been largely overlooked. They were, however, produced in large numbers and much of the work created from them was of a very high quality. An important though largely forgotten part of the Embroiderers' Guild legacy is the huge collection of hot iron transfers dating back to the early 20th century that were created by members of the Guild. They fell out of favour in the 1960s and the Guild stopped producing them. Many transfers were stored away and haven't been seen since those times; others were simply thrown away. This publication, which consists of one booklet of transfers and one booklet of worked examples, showcases specially chosen examples worked in specific ways as an inspiration to readers to either follow, or work in their own way. This is a massively important collection of beautiful embroidery transfers that will excite embroiderers, textile artists, historians and lovers of traditional and vintage embroidery everywhere.
A Masterclass in Needle Felting Dogs
The art of needle felting dogs can produce amazingly hyper-realistic - almost taxidermic - results, and with a little know-how, some needles and wool, and a few inexpensive accessories, you can also needle felt like a professional. If you have ever wanted to improve your needle felting and take it to a whole new level to create lifelike dogs, A Masterclass in Needle Felting Dogs, by world class needle felting master Cindy-Lou Thompson of Chicktin Creations, will show you how. Covering four different breeds of dog (Dachshund, Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier and Poodle), with step-by-step instructions and photos, Cindy takes you through the processes of creating different body shapes, proportions, armatures, coats, and blending, as well as realistic accessories such as eyes, noses, mouths, ears, and nails. Learn how to achieve a professional finish with different textured coats, clipping and shaping, and finishing off, using a variety of mediums and methods, some of which Cindy has designed and developed herself, and never revealed until now.
Timeless Tailoring
Traditional tailoring requires much time consuming and careful hand work to achieve the desired qualities. It is still sought after by discriminatingly dressers who can afford the investment of custom-made clothing and by those who have the time to do the fine work for themselves. A custom tailored garment is characterized by excellent fit, careful and accurate construction, and permanent shaping and durability achieved with the appropriate inner support fabrics for the desired look.Modern ready-to-wear tailored garments are now constructed mostly by machine. With the availability of high-quality fusible interfacings and notions, much of the necessity for hand sewing has been eliminated. If you are a student preparing for a career in the fashion industry or a home sewer wishing to make garments with the ready-to-wear look, learning the methods used by manufacturers is essential.The material presented in this book will help you achieve the ready-to-wear look, using factory- like construction methods and pattern changes. Construction is done in units to save time and eliminate over-handling of the garment pieces. Not all handwork has been eliminated. It is used where necessary to enhance the wearing quality and appearance of the garment.I learned the methods presented in this book over a fourteen-month period at the Muramatsu School in Nagoya, Japan. Among the classes taught by the director was one using manufacturing methods. It stressed not only time- and work-saving construction techniques, but also methods using different seam widths than those commonly found in commercial patterns. The value of changing seam widths in order to better control the garment edges, lapels, and collar was one of the most important things I learned and will share with you as you use this book. It is critical to the finished appearance of a tailored garment.What I learned about ready-to-wear tailoring in Japan is included in this book. You will find that these methods are not one of the "quick-and-easy" methods, but a special process with emphasis on quality and timesaving techniques. I hope that you will enjoy using these techniques and will be proud of the garments that result.

Knitting Loom Guide
Are you frustrated because you don't have the exact knitting loom listed in the pattern? Are you still trying to find an elusive purple Knifty Knitter Adult Hat Loom?Help is here, my loomy friends!The GoodKnit Kisses' Knitting Loom Guide is an essential resource book for loom knitters. This book is loaded with information about knitting looms. It's NOT a "how-to" book that teaches you to loom knit, but it's a tool to help you find the best loom for your project. You can quickly and easily find the loom you're looking for in the intuitive, organized charts.What's Inside?1. Looms by Brand - Each loom maker has a dedicated list that includes all their looms both current and discontinued. If there is a specific brand you prefer you can check there first to see if they make a loom in the size you need. (Discontinued looms are specially marked so you know they are no longer available.)2. Loom by Gauge - Loom gauge tells you how big your stitches will be. When you find a pattern but don't have the exact loom the designer used you can look for a loom of the same gauge and peg count. You might be surprised to find that you already have a loom of the correct gauge in your inventory. Both loom gauge and center to center peg measurements are listed in the charts for your convenience.3. Adjustable Looms - These looms can increase or decrease the number of pegs used when loom knitting in the round. They are great for decreased hat crowns, making multiple sizes of socks and shaping stuffed animals. Adjustable looms are marked in all the charts, but they also have a dedicated section of the book to save you time.4. Double Knitting Looms - If you love double knitting, this is a must. Now you can find all the looms that can be used to double knit in every gauge from Extra Fine to Jumbo.5. I also talk about what the looms are made of: Wood vs. Plastic and the pros and cons of both materials.6. The Loom Gauge Equivalence Chart in the back of the book details the best yarn sizes (both US and UK/Aus sizes) for each loom gauge including the average stitches per inch knitting gauge for each size. I also list the equivalent knitting needles or crochet hooks for each gauge for those that like to convert patterns.Charts include the Gauge, C2C (center to center peg measurement in inches), Brand, Loom Name/Type, Peg count, whether the loom is adjustable or used for double knitting, and the color of the loom (if plastic) or loom base material. Our goal was to give you as much information about each loom as possible.This is a must-have book for your loom knitting library. Get your copy today and grab one for a fellow loomer.
