The Complete Book Of Scarves: Making, Decorating & Tying

by Jo Packham

This elegantly photographed collection of scarves to make and enhance embraces the simple and the sensational. The fabrics specified include those found in notions departments and luxurious upscale fabric stores...and results subtly accent an ensemble or create daring and dramatic fashion statements. Clear, numbered directions for making and decorating various types of scarves are punctuated with profiles of the craftspersons....Those less dexterous who prefer simply to shop for their finishing touches, and those who have successfully created their scarves of choice, will appreciate the final chapter, which offers several pages of photos and diagrams of ideas for typing, draping, wrapping, and even decorating with scarves, allowing anyone to tie one on with style.--Booklist. 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10.

The scarf embellishments described in this book feel very dated and 1979, but I like all the diagrams for how to tie a scarf. Wrap gifts! Make a bikini! A skirt! Or just create an elaborate knot and wear it around your neck. I like scarves and wear them more and more (Like Nora Ephron, I feel bad about my neck...) so I'll give some of these a try.
