Oversized 1977 craft compendium covering knitting, sewing, rugmaking, and children's projects, in tan and navy lattice boards.
An oversized hardcover craft compendium published in the USA in 1977 by Chartwell Books, adapted from the British Magic Touch series by Phoebus Publishing and printed in England. The boards are covered in a tan and navy woven lattice print that has the look of caning, with bold navy spine lettering. Inside, chapters run through knitting, sewing, curtains and blinds, pictures to sew, rugmaking, and finishing techniques, followed by a full section of children's projects covering toys, games, clothes, and accessories, closing with a yarn reference list. Heavily illustrated throughout in the warm saturated color photography of the period, which makes it as good for styling and reference as for actually making. Light shelf wear and edge rubbing to the boards. Vintage craft book, 1970s needlework, knitting and sewing reference, retro craft photography, decorative bookshelf styling.
