CRAZY RAGS-Contemporary Wearable Art
Create a unique crazy-patch wearable in just a few simple steps!
In this one-of-a-kind book, you'll find complete instructions for turning bits of fabric into a Kimono Jacket,a Safari Vest,a French Beret, or one of six other artistic wearables.
Start by foundation piecing scraps of cotton, silk, or other fabrics into crazy-patch units. Then personalize each unit with silk-ribbon embroidery, decorative threads, and special embellishments. Take a unit along to stitch in your spare moments, and you'll be amazed at how quickly work goes!
Combine units to complete your original crazy-patch wearable.
With Debbi's easy construction methods, your garment or accessory will be seamed, fully lined, and finished almost before you know it!
Instructions for using commercial patterns are also included.
