The Skirt Emporium

SPRING 2017

Sew 25 fun and fabulous designs for all sizes and ages, with ideas for many more madame zsazsa This fun, quirky book is packed with gorgeous, colourful skirts to sew for women of all sizes and girls of all ages. It contains 25 different skirt projects, all of which can be customised easily using the full-size patterns given in the back, and all of which can be made for adults or children. Each design is shown made from several different fabrics and with different trims – to inspire the reader to follow their own personal style. Choose from styles such as A-line, bell, circle, straight, gathered, wraparound and elasticated, and also learn how to add underskirts or adapt a design to create maternity wear. Packed with tips on stitching, choosing fabric and a comprehensive guide to cutting and using the patterns, this book shows the reader exactly how to create their own fun and flattering designs! Pgathered • Paperback with stretChy flaps • 160 pages skirt with waistband • 235 x 190mm (7½ x 9¼ inches) The gathered skirt – what a wonderful design! This skirt doesn’t have a pattern.The skirt section is a piece of fabric that can be as wide as you want. For the yellow skirt I multiplied the hip measurement by three, and for the other skirt I doubled it.The coloured waistband at the top is cut out of a stretchy fabric that is still sufficiently tight to stop the skirt from slipping. If you want to make this skirt for yourself (and you’re aged over fourteen) then don’t use a square piece of fabric, but use the A-line or bell-skirt pattern. See page 137 to find out what you need to do.

• 200 colour photographs • isBN: 9781782214106 PATTERN SECTIONS • £12.99 / $19.95 • Skirt section: check the size chart to find the length. For the width, take at least two times the hip measurement. The skirt section is cut against the selvedge, so there’s no need to hem the bottom. • Wide waistband: because stretchy fabrics all stretch to different degrees, it’s best to fit the waistband first; however it definitely needs to be a few cm (an inch or so) shorter than the waist measurement. Remember that the waistband will be folded in half widthways before being sewn onto the skirt, so you should multiply the height you want by two. Personally I always make it 12cm (4¾in) wide, including the seam.

We won’t be 100 per cent accurate in our measurements for this skirt, so it doesn’t matter how much seam allowance you leave for the side seam. I finished off the yellow skirt with a French seam and the green skirt with a normal zigzag stitch seam. The instructions will show you how to finish it with a French seam.

The book is aimed at stitchers of all abilities, from absolute beginners looking to learn a new craft to embroiderers and cross stitchers who want to do something different in cross stitching.

As well as providing exciting designs to stitch, there is guidance on how to create cross stitch designs of your own, for example by using photographs and other images for reference.

65 classic sweaters to knit from 55 fishing villages

stella ruhe Between approximately 1875 and 1950, Dutch fishermen wore sweaters with characteristic knit and purl stitch patterns, sometimes cable. These jerseys, known as ganseys, became and intrinsic part of the identity of the Dutchmen who wore them, and their daily lives as fishermen. Publication of the bestselling book Dutch Traditional Ganseys in 2013 renewed interest in the sweaters, and dozens more old photos were discovered that inspired the creation of a second book that includes 65 brand new gansey patterns. Each design is accompanied by knitting diagrams, sketches, photographs and guidance on sizing, and all can be knitted for adults as well as children. With a wealth of fascinating background information and historical photos of the original designs, this is a unique and inspiring book for knitters, and a brilliant read for anyone interested in craft, culture and heritage.

In 1984 Terry gave up his job to paint full time. He demonstrates to artists' groups and teaches on painting holidays. He has also developed a range of his own brushes and paints.

Painting PEN, LINE AND WASH

Wendy Jelbert begins this book by asking the question 'why sketch?'. Her answer is that it is the best way to record inspirational scenes and to capture special moments. Through a series of step-by-step projects, Wendy demonstrates how to develop your sketching skills using pen, line and wash techniques to transform a sketch into a finished painting. Everything is covered from capturing detail, composition and texture to making the most of your sketchbooks. Many of Wendy's finished paintings and the sketches that inspired them are included throughout the book. Everything you need to know about transforming a rough sketch into a painting you can be proud of - a complete inspirational course for all those who love to sketch and paint.

‘Whatever type of artist you are – a professional, a serious amateur, a weekend artist, or a beginner – a few crucial lines, some written notes and perhaps a photograph, will help to capture a fleeting moment of time that sparks your interest. You never know when these moments are going to occur, so you must be prepared. Personally, I never leave home without a small sketchbook and a pen or pencil in my pocket; I might forget my keys, but never my sketchbook!’ – Wendy Jelbert

Quick & Lively Urban Sketching

NEW

klaus meier-PaukeN

In a time when most people have a camera to hand at all times, the question of why we sketch is ever more relevant. A sketch cannot capture a scene with perfect accuracy – instead, it is about something more. We sketch to capture an impression, record a feeling, create a personal interpretation; sketching is an act of personal expression. Written by architect and art teacher Klaus Meier-Pauken, an expert in urban sketching this informative book teaches the reader to create quick, animated drawings that are full of life and expression. Whether the reader is looking to discover their own sketching style, or to build on existing knowledge, the practical exercises will get them thinking, and the extensive collection of the author’s work will inspire them. Divided into seven lessons: tools, colour, composition, bringing a sketch to life, urban life, landscapes and human subjects - each contains learning objectives and tips to hone technique. Decide how strong or detailed to make linework; when to use pencil or ink; how much colour to use, and where; how to successfully compose an image and use perspective to bring it to life; how to use contrast; how to incorporate detail. • Paperback • 64 pages • 280 x 216mm (8½ x 11 inches) • 80 colour illustrations • isBN: 9781782214175 • £8.99 / $15.95 all rights free

Giovanni Civardi was born in Milan in 1947. While training to become a sculptor, portrait artist and illustrator at the Free Life-Study School of the Accademia di Brera, he also studied medicine and surgery. For over a decade, he worked as an illustrator, producing commissions for newspapers, magazines and book covers. During frequent trips to France and Denmark, Civardi put on one-man exhibitions of this work and pursued his interest in studying the relationship between medical anatomy and the human form as depicted by the artist. His experience gained from teaching anatomy, life drawing and portraiture in schools and institutions over many years has led to the publication of numerous books in which Civardi's experiences are brought into focus. Giovanni has authored a number of bestselling titles both in the UK and worldwide.

gottfried Bammes

Originally published in German in 1964, Professor Gottfried Bammes’ Die Gestalt des Menschen is still considered the definitive guide to drawing the human form. Having undergone numerous editions since it was first published and still much in demand today, this, the first ever English translation of the complete work, has been long awaited. Based on the most recent German edition and faithful to the original, it contains over 1200 photographs, diagrams and drawings, including work by the author himself, and spans over 500 pages. Now, both new and experienced English-speaking artists and illustrators can benefit from the vast body of knowledge accumulated and lovingly presented by Professor Bammes in his acclaimed work. This comprehensive guide begins with the history of human anatomy for artists, and its influence on the development of the artistic visualisation of the body. Bammes goes on to explore in depth the human skeleton and musculature; the proportions of the body; the static and dynamic laws of posture and movement; body language; and the interrelationships of the various elements of the body. Through his systematic and practical approach to teaching, the reader will acquire an in-depth knowledge of anatomy and the ways in which it can be used to express the human form in art. • hardback • 504 pages • 295 x 210mm (8¼ x 11½ inches) • 1222 illustrations • isBN: 9781782213581 • £50.00 / $80.00

THEMES

Judy Martin

DYANNE LOCATI THE PALM JUNGLE The effectiveness of an image with strong graphic qualities like this relies as much on close observation and accurate drawing as on the techniques of applying pencil colour. Even shading has been carefully built up to fill the shapes and form subtle tonal and colour gradations. The grainy texture of the paper allows the applied colours to “breathe”, adding sparkle to the rendering.

How to Make Resin Jewellery

SPR 2017

With over 50 inspirational step-by-step projects sara NaumaNN

Resin jewellery first started in the US around 6 years ago and has now become one of the fastest-growing trends in jewellery making. The technique is very simple – you simply mix the two-part resin together and pour into a bezel or pendant. Rings, pendants, brooches, cufflinks, hairpins and bracelets are all easy to make and look incredibly professional when done. Resin is In this inspiring book, well-known crafter Sara Naumann shows you just how easy and quick resin jewellery is to make, using minimal equipment and readily available products, and provides over 50 fabulous projects for you to try. You can add numerous items to the resin to achieve different effects. You can place paper in the bezels to act as a background to the resin – such as old book paper, map paper, scrapbook paper and photographs. Paper can also be painted, stencilled, or layered with washi tape before being coated with resin. Try sheet music for a vintage vibe, or origami papers for a fresh, contemporary look. In addition, you can also immerse various items in the resin before it cures, such as dried flowers and leaves, feathers, shells, beads and charms, or try adding glitter, coloured inks, nail polish and virtually anything else you can think of. The versatility of resin jewellery is awe-inspiring, providing papercrafters as well as jewellery-makers with all the skills and inspiration they need to design and make their own stunning pieces. • Paperback • 96 pages • 280 x 216 mm (8½ x 11 inches) • 215 colour photographs • isBN: 9781782213376 • £9.99 / $19.95 all rights free
