A practical book on creating and customizing clothing, published by Van Nostrand Reinhold.
Author Jean Ray Laury is an American quilter known for promoting women's self-expression in the arts.
This book introduces ideas and techniques for creating your own unique clothing (body coverings) by remaking ready-made and second-hand clothing and using a variety of techniques such as embroidery, patchwork, and tie-dyeing, along with plenty of photographs.
The content is also deeply connected to the DIY craft and feminist movements in the United States in the 1970s.
