CRAFT BOOKS DE-STASH

The 'CRAFT BOOK DE-STASH' is part of my 'CLUTTER CHAOS' long term plan to de-stash and cull my art, textiles and craft related books and reduce the bookshelves by at least half! I will allow myself to retain my cherished titles. Some of the books are now out of print and it's not easy to find copies. 

Titles include embroidery, tapestry, needlework, patchwork, quilting, mosaics, dress making, mixed media, knitting, crochet, rugs, smocking, paper crafts, bead craft, instruction and techniques in watercolour, oil, pastel, acrylic art, textile art, flower arranging, interiors, soft furnishings and sewing projects.

A few vintage titles of historical, research interest to weavers, dress makers and embroiderers.

The condition of each book is as described in the listing and categorised in the table below.

There is overlapping of the titles between the sections, some span different craft disciplines.
