This addition to Mulari's now-considerable library of creative sewing books is loaded with ideas like these for embellishing and adding designer touches to off-the-rack denim garments like vests, shirts, and jackets. Techniques used include patchwork, fabric painting, weaving, couching appliqu , and stamping, and each project is complete with a materials list, full-color photos, and step-by-step instructions. Public libraries will want this one.
