The rallying cry is: Don't buy; DIY. The result is hip,
imaginative, crafty, and very green. There's a basic primer on
techniques - knotting, sewing, braiding, lacing - plus a full
tutorial on embellishing. And then an amazing range of projects.
There's fashion, of course: all-new halters and tank tops, sexy
gaucho pants, a baby-doll dress, twisted shrug, and hooded scarf.
But also baby gifts: Jumper for Joy, Baby Back Bib, Wild Thing
Blankie. Home decor: plant hanger, wine cozy, toilet seat cover,
ruffled apron, and Spastic Plastic (grocery tote). Grill mitts and
bolo ties for the guys, doggie tee and stuffed cat toys, a steering
wheel cover for the car, the Ants Go Marching (picnic blanket), and
Beach Bum (beach caddy). Projects in this title range from the
simplest no-sew to intermediate, and all have easy-to-follow
illustrated directions - plus, how to throw your own Tee Party. It
is time to get your craft on.
