For Projects You Can Wash & Dry
1981
130 paged softcover book in good condition.
Imagine needlepoint creations that are both beautiful and easy to care for. Expert needleworker Emily S Sheldon has developed a technique for needlepoint that uses only washable and dryable materials. Projects can be washed with your regular laundry, making expensive, special care unnecessary.
Presented here are more than 75 original designs that are as functional as they are attractive. Ms Sheldon has devised a number of fascinating possibilities for enhancing the items used in daily life, for example, pillowcases, blankets, wastebaskets, and sports hats. The patterns given can also decorate such articles as purses, pot holders, aprons, towels, jeans and even tennis shoes to create a unique gift.
