Description: Here are more than 70 of the best
and most beautiful sewing designs
from the Ladies' Home Journal
needle & craft magazine, stunning-
ly photographed in full color.
This unique collection has designs
for women, for the home, for chil-
dren. For women, there's a cape, a
coat, a skirt and a stole to make
quickly from quilts;  a patchwork
jacket inspired by the Pueblo In-
dians; long dresses to tie-dye
boldly, paint delicately or stencil
simply. For the home, there's a quilt
of bluebirds; a village t)f  pillows;
sewing-machine portraits of home
and family. And six sensible varia-
tions on the tote bag. For children,
there's a storybook wardrobe for a
real  little  girl; a cardboard play-
house to call home; a benevolent
sun god (who brings good fortune
to his creators); and dolls that
would be at home in anyone's arms.
With Creative Sewing, you can
learn how to sew without patterns,
and how to graph your own pat-
terns. You can take a classic coat,
jacket or dress pattern and add
your own personal fashion state-
ment with applique, embroidery,
