Want to wear a Coptic tunic, Mexican huipil, Himalayan Sherpa coat, African shirt, South American poncho, Huichol Indian pocketbelt? This book is about how to weave and use handwoven cloth to make these exciting garments and many more.
The premise is that everything that comes off a loom is bascially a square or a rectangle; these shapes challenge the clothing designer to develop them into coverings for the human form.
Complete diagrams, patterns, and dimensions are given; how to weave slits, neck openings, and shaped pieces is detailed; decorative and plain joinings, closures, finishes, and trims are described, along with accessories such as handbags, belts, collars, pockets - and umbrellas!
Softcover, 128 pages, b&w & color photos. Published by Van Nostrand Reinhold, c. 1973.
In good condition, covers & interior pages are slightly age-toned, interior still glossy and bright. Former owner's name in ink on inside cover and title page.
