Publisher's Note
In Stitch Magic, fashion and textile expert Alison Reid teaches sewers how to manipulate and sculpt fabric by using such techniques as folding, cutting, pleating, tucking, gathering, and stitching, creating entirely new surfaces and textures in the process. The resulting fabrics, which look sophisticated and complex but are actually relatively simple and inexpensive to produce, can be used for entire textiles, such as cushions or blinds, or to create fashion accessories or embellishments. 

Stitch Magic serves as both a technical reference guide, which the sewer can consult time and again, as well as an inspiring project book. Among the beautiful, modern projects included are curtains and cushions, a throw, shawl, cape, necklace, and bag. Detailed illustrations throughout make all of the instructions easy to follow.

This book is fun, fresh and has great ideas. Although most of the techniques (pleating, pin-tucking, cording, smocking) are widely discussed in general sewing books, the author offers lots of inventive variations, with plenty of color photos that document design processes. The photos spark the imagination.

The book also includes specific projects that showcase the different techniques. Most of the projects are for accessories (a belt made of overlapped cut circles stitched down to a base fabric; homemade cords braided and used as trim on a hat) and items for the home (a chair cushion quilted with fabric embellishments, lots of throw pillows, place mats and table runners), and while they require patience, none require advanced sewing skills. The sensibility is urban and contemporary: smocking is demonstrated as a trim on an apron pocket and not, say, on a christening gown. There's also good, solid advice on designing your own projects (e.g., make a prototype in newsprint first).
If you like to sew and to make things, not just clothes, you will be delighted with this book, and it may send your sewing in new directions.
 
This is a remainder book and as such has a remainder mark as well as very light wear to the covers.

FOR U.S. BUYERS, I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE AUCTION WINS AT THE COST OF POSTAGE PLUS 19 CENTS TO COVER HANDLING AND MAILING SUPPLIES.

Shipping to Canada is $6.60 for first class.  That is at the cost of shipping.

Shipping to Australia and Great Britain is $13.17 for economy first class. That is also at the cost of postage only.

FYI: 

I take a great deal of pride in offering good products....products that I would want to buy myself, at reasonable prices with excellent, careful packaging and some of the most cost effective shipping on Ebay.

 

I send your packages to you based on a simple formula -- one of the best on EBAY.....the actual cost of the shipping plus 19 cents for delivery confirmation.  This is for single items or multiple item packages.  Delivery confirmation lets you KNOW that I have shipped your purchase and we both know if and when it has been delivered.  I charge nothing extra for my time or for my packaging materials.  I buy bubble mailers....not the cheap ones, but quality envelopes that protect against rough handling by the USPS and most often gets your book to you in the same condition as it was when I shipped it out.

 

 I most often offer at least two shipping options....one that is fast and a bit more expensive and one that is slower and "cheap."  Since I primarily sell books this is usually media mail.  Media mail by USPS definition, on average takes 3 - 9 business days.  If it is a busy time of year, a big box or a destination that is further than most, it can often take longer than that.  I ship out within 24 hours of payment (or the next business day if it is a holiday or weekend).  I often go to the PO twice a day.  That is all that I can do to help insure timely delivery for you.  PLEASE KNOW -- I have no control over the time it takes the USPS once the package leaves my hands. . 

 

If you win this auction, please consider the above and judge my performance as a seller accordingly when you leave feedback.  THANKS!!!
