      • Cornish Guernseys & Knitfrocks
        Local history

        Cornish Guernseys & Knitfrocks

        by Mary Wright

        In late 19th century Cornwall hand-knitting was a vital cottage industry and coastal villages developed their own distinctive patterns and names for the traditional navy blue guernsey or knit-frock. Contract-knitting - the occupation of many Cornish women - had died out by the 1920s and was almost forgotten until author Mary Wright started asking old people what they remembered of it. Her research has resulted in a remarkable picture of social history. Cornish Guernseys & Knit-frocks includes many delightful contemporary photographs, and detailed instructions and charts show how to knit a Cornish guernsey incorporating one of thirty local patterns.

        by Emma Vining

        As a desirable item of fashion, a cherished gift or a wardrobe essential, the shawl enjoys enduring popularity among knitters and non-knitters alike. The most admired of these beautiful accessories are designed with inspiration drawn from a wide range of themes and ideas. This creativity is achieved by blending a knitter’s imagination with their knowledge of how to translate a source of inspiration into an exciting new design. A Knitter’s Guide to Shawl Design will inspire knitters of all levels to personalize their knitting and create original shawl designs. Author Emma Vining describes her own design processes, encouraging readers to explore and experiment with shawl shapes and stitch patterns. Beautifully illustrated with photographs, sketches and explanatory diagrams, this book explores tradition and innovation in shawl design. It demonstrates the effects of yarn, knitting techniques and finishing choices on the end design and considers the framing effect of edges and borders and how to plan these into your project. The geometry of the shawl shape is examined - there are individual chapters on squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, semi-circles and crescents. Finally, the design process is illustrated in full over five detailed case studies, each culminating in a full shawl pattern by built environments.

        Handiwork Fun with Children

        by Brigitte Ettmann

        It is simply a pleasure to watch four to six year old children working with needle and thread with a lot of fun and skill and creating true handicraft works of art. This and much more they have been learning for several years in the kindergarten with Brigitte Ettmann. She and her comrades-in-arms worked as volunteers in children’s daycare centres in their hometown Leipzig to introduce the youngest children to the hobby of handicrafts. And with great success. For the boys and girls, this has an incredible number of positive effects - they playfully discover their talents and promote creativity and self-confidence. In addition, they train their concentration, dexterity and endurance. Also a great benefit for parents and daycare centres! Brigitte Ettmann has now compiled her easily used handicraft instructions in this colourful and child-friendly book. The simple introductions for handicrafts at home and in the daycare centre are best suited for children aged between 3½ and 8 years. With many clearly arranged step-by-step photos you will find the bobble making, knotting, embroidering with embroidery cards and embroidery frames as well as weaving in the lid of a shoe box, the popular finger knitting and the sewing of funny cuddly animals made of felt. The author has interspersed helpful tips and little stories. The book whets the appetite for handicraft fun with children, which is especially awakened by the many funny photos of the little "master craftsmen". For the pictures, some of Brigitte Ettmann's protégés from the Leipzig day care centre were used as models - and with great fun and zeal.

        New Life for Old Clothes

        Small and fine sewing projects

        by Constanze Derham

        Recycle instead of buying new! The DO-IT-YOURSELF and refashion trend in fashion is moving more and more into the limelight. Rather, it is the fun of recycling sewing to breathe new life into old clothes or fabrics and at the same time act ecologically consciously in today's textile affluent society. On top of that it is easy on the wallet. And who doesn't have any clothes in the wardrobe that no longer fit properly, no longer please or have simply exceeded their fashionable half-life? Why then always buy new clothes when many garments can be turned into great individual pieces with little effort and a little skill?Author and amateur dressmaker Constanze Derham is a master in conjuring amazing things out of old clothes. Her sewing guide is full of creative ideas on how to sew completely new favourite clothes or trendy accessories from old jeans, shirts, T-shirts or sweaters. A worn out pair of jeans becomes a carpet as an eye-catcher for the apartment and a lined laptop or tray cover, a shirt becomes a pillowcase and a casual summer skirt or an old wool sweater becomes a children's jacket and "warming" cover for the e-book reader. There are almost no limits to creativity. The author presents a total of 20 small but fine sewing projects. The book also contains lots of practical tips on what you should consider when choosing the material, what sewing equipment you need and what you need to know about techniques such as cutting, ripping, dyeing, patching or hole repairing - all of which can be found in this book. Let yourself be inspired by the many possibilities to create new favourite pieces from old clothes. With this book sewing will become your new passion!
