Rags: Making a Little Something Out of Nothing

This book came out in the seventies and it was my FAVORITE book as a teenager! Not only are there some great ideas for recycling things into "objects d'art" it's full of stories and Allison family remembrances. There are lots of instructions for making cool things like: a funky "chicken" coat out of old tee-shirts; some plush velvet slippers; a rag doll; and magic wands. It is peppered with photos of the Allison sisters through the years. Okay, maybe some of the fashion styles are a bit dated, but the ideas are easily "upgradable" to suit the fashion mindset of today. This is a gentle, creative book, it's still on my shelf, it is well worn, and I still love it after more than 20 years, can you tell?
