Product Information

The art of giving is bound up with the art of living, but nowadays with so many demands on the budget, many a generous impulse has to be vetoed by a stern exchequer. Originally published in 1942, Gifts You Can Sew (Sixth Edition) contains patterns and directions for sewing and reaping a harvest of happiness -- 71 gifts you can make yourself at one tenth the cost and ten times the fun, since each gift will bear a signature, warm and personal as your smile.
