NONFICTION BY FRANCES GRIMBLE

AFTER A FASHION:  HOW TO REPRODUCE, RESTORE, AND WEAR VINTAGE STYLES 

AFTER A FASHION covers medieval through Art Deco styles, for women and men.
It guides readers though each stage of a reproduction project and advises
them on all aspects of collecting vintage clothes.  The pattern-making and
sewing instructions are useful to sewers at any experience level.  An
appendix lists over 300 sources for supplies, vintage clothes, and
information.  Detailed drawings enhance the style descriptions and
step-by-step instructions.

``Most of the book's sewing instructions are numbered and illustrated, and
they're among the clearest I've seen in any sewing resource.''
  --Sew News

``Wonderfully practical.''
  --Cutters' Research Journal
