My name is Elizabeth and I'm a 70s sewing book addict. I can't remember where I picked up this one but it's one of the best vintage quilting books I've come across - mainly because it has a whole section on quilted clothes and accessories. Woweee...
Published in 1974 - a great year for design! This is chockablock with how-tos on different quilting techniques and has some amazing experimental and very 70s quilts - as well as the fashion chapter which is a mine of inspiration, including a pattern for this dreamy sleeveless satin jacket...
There are not quite enough colour pages for my liking, but some of the illustrations more than make up for that...
Loving this jacket design with quilting on a striped base fabric... here's a close-up:
Some more quilted clothing ideas - love the squishy looking quilted hem on that long coat dress...
Also, feast your eyes on this 3D velvet stars quilt - it doesn't get much more 70s than that!
(I'm struggling to find a credit for this work of art - I will update this if and when I do)
