[h-cost] QEWU
Hello, I am FINALLY thinking of buying this book as it has great reviews, but unfortunately I cannot have a look at it as it isn't in any of the local libraries. I love Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion and if QEWU is something of this sort, I would definitely go for it. So, my question is, how much is there about construction? How much text (theory)? How many pictures and drawings? I am looking for something that will help me recreate the costumes, not a theoretical text about what was worn. Thank you for any advice, Zuzana ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] QEWU
Hi Zuzana, There is a bit of everything in this book, but ,mostly inventory, who made what etc. If you are looking for technical things (patterns, construction tips, stc.) then, IMHO, this is not a book that you would be interested in buying. Stick to the P of F (#4 was released in 2008). Best Regards, Monica Monica E.

Does anyone else here have a similar problem?

Re: [h-cost] Lookign for chiton pattern
Hi Alwen, You don't need a pattern. It is a rectangle of cloth. Here's a link that might help: http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/Ch.html#anchor1684194 Monica E.
