New on the Racks


Appearing now for $6.99 (Can you tell by the price it's from Taunton Press? Use your 50% off Jo-Ann's coupon!) - Quick Stuff to Sew They are trying a tie-in with Simplicity's 2968 (page 23) - but you could easily use the rather neat embellishment idea for other garments. Other noteworthy projects - a knockoff of the "Devil Wears Prada" bag. A few clunkers - another "quiz" where of course you want to be a "C" -- which reminds me of the old Highlights for Children's "Goofus and Gallant." Macrame belt?! Fabric covered frame? Embroidering towels? Those are a little too Sew News-y. But I liked the flip flops transformation, the mobius scarf, the wrap cardigan/shawl, turning a straight skirt pattern into more stylish versions, and a wardrobe of headbands which may be appearing on L in the future.
