A wonderful book for the both the sewer & non-sewer

This is a wonderful book for both the sewer & the non-sewer alike. The clothing designs are stunning & inspirational, if only to look at. Most are quite colorful, imaginative & have their own unique style. Basic pattern diagrams are included as well as detailed instructions for stitching & piecing. Patterns include ponchos, kimonos, coats, capes, skirts, shirts & accessories such as purses & belts to name a few. The book is packed with instructions for embellishments including applique, embroidery, quilting, & painting. Adding pleats, gathers & ruffles is also covered. Caring for fabrics is included as well. The book is full-color on glossy stock. There are numerous photographs of the clothing, all are gorgeous & true works of art. I fell in love with "Magic Kimono" decorated with a metallic sun & moon design.
