When I first received this book order I skimmed through it and put it aside because it wasn't what I had expected. I recently picked it to file in my library and got distracted really studying it. Its now on my work table.
When I originally ordered it I think I was distracted by the cover - was thinking of purses and purse patterns versus fabric manipulation techinques. I now have made a list of the techniques in the book and hope to do one a week for about half a year (I don't plan on doing the knitting items...there were several I believe). Elli covers different ways to dye/color fabrics, decorate fabrics, resew a different way, etc. And there are about a dozen PROJECTS also where the reader can implement several of the techniques being taught in the book.
The reason I don't give it a 5 is that I wish that there were a few more projects for items pictured in the book...there were several great vests (basic pattern was included) but not always a detailed explanation on the techniques used in all of them. (But then again, I might not have read deep enough so they might be there.)
