Threads for heads is a great book! Lauren Clay did a terrific job at making a book for all of us kind folk who want to make our own clothes. I actually traded some essential ois and stuff for my copy. I sort of regret not paying it for it though because She put a lot of really hard work into making that book. It doesn't quite seem right to be charging $60 for it though.
i was just reading through my copy of it. personally, if i hadnt of already been sewing for a while, i dont think any of the things i made out of it would have been as good as they were. the instructions are very clear and easy to follow, but i think thats because i have a basic knowledge of sewing and 'sewing common sense'. i wouldnt recommend it for an absolute beginner as a book to learn from, but thats just my take on it. i must say the apron top was a nice little tutorial. i enjoyed that one. those prices are CRAZY! after all, you can just go on craftster.org and one of the kind girls there will give you a free tutorial thats just as good. but i didnt pay for it, i traded some stuff for it, which i think is ok as the previous owner was done with it.
There are two copies of this book on ebay right now. One has a $20.00 price on it and the other is BUy It Now for $110. Crazy. Kathi

AHAHAHAHA...bet whomever won that auction really feels like an ass now... I am sooo glad she's taking orders! ::wishes her paycheck was deposited:: xoxo cortnee
guess I waited too long to put mine on ebay. Oh well, I'm glad she's taking orders again. The money should go to the author. It's a great book. Kathi
I was told that she is selling her book again. Here is the website. http://www.geocities.com/poohdoh/book.html This is probably the cheapest way to do it, and I bet Lauren actually gets the money this way.
