The Art of Fashion Draping, 3rd Edition, is organised from basic to more advanced topics. New and revised illustrations keep the book up to date.

    Dodge creates over 120 stylish designs from baby doll to high-fashion model from 45 basic patterns ---- tracing actual-size diagrams directly off the large-size pages.

    Japanese needleworkers were, of course, impressed by the wonderful graphic designs in the Holstein collection, but they were especially attracted to the lovely old fabrics and the use of scraps. The Japanese have traditionally cherished old fabrics, and the idea of creating something artistic and useful from scraps appealed to the love and use of color and design that is paramount in their culture.The wonderful creations resulting from this enthusiastic quilting activity can be savored in the 135 beautiful illustrations in this book, which are divided into five broad categories: American Patterns-Hybrid Quilts; Japanese Designs; Blue and White Quilts; Country Textiles; and Kamon Quilts.
