About this title

Review:

Craft-it-fast items generally have a thrown-together, inelegant look, but not so the 31 sophisticated projects in Quick to Make. Culled from the column of the same name in the popular Threads magazine, this guide is filled with charming ideas for scarves, bracelets, bags, boxes, pillows, buttons, belts, and much more. Interesting techniques include burn-out velvet, rubber-stamped fabrics, ribbon work, and photocopy transfer onto polymer clay. In the tradition of the magazine, the directions are excellent, the photographs are beautiful, and the finished products are classy enough that you'll be proud to give them to chic friends--although you may be tempted to keep them for yourself. --Amy Handy
