This is a slim book of forty-seven pages with the first four pages given over to general instruction about the methods used in a series of projects to make garments and accessories. All the pictures of the projects show attractive, sumptuous fabrics.

One of my reservations about the book is that the recommended materials used for the projects are not readily available in the UK. However it would be possible to substitute alternatives and the detailed yarn descriptions in the book would help with the choice of other brands of yarn.

I think this book would be of most value to someone with some basic textile skills. The five pages of patterns and diagrams at the rear of the book could be a good starting point for your own designs and colour schemes using the methods described.

None of the projects would be cheap to complete but they would result in totally unique one off garments.
