SynopsisOceanography and Marine Biology presents the basic elements of the physical, chemical, and geological aspects of the marine sciences, and merges them into a broader framework of marine biology and ecology. Townsend uses everyday examples of how these areas form the foundations for understanding the marine environment in a changing world., Whether you just bought your first sewing machine or have been sewing for years, Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts will open your eyes to an irresistible range of ideas. A comprehensive visual reference, the book covers everything a home sewer craves: the basics of sewing by hand or machine, along with five other time-honored crafts techniques, and step-by-step instructions for more than 150 projects that reflect not only Martha Stewart's depth of experience and crafting expertise, but also her singular sense of style. Encyclopedic in scope, the book features two main parts to help you brush up on the basics and take your skills to a new level. First, the Techniques section guides readers through Sewing, Appliqué, Embroidery, Quilting, Dyeing, and Printing. Following that, the Projects A to Z section features more than 150 clever ideas (including many no-sew projects), all illustrated and explained with the clear, detailed instructions that have become a signature of Martha Stewart's magazines, books, and television shows. An enclosed CD includes full-size clothing patterns as well as templates that can be easily produced on a home printer. Fabric, thread, and tool glossaries identify the properties, workability, and best uses of common sewing materials. And, perhaps best of all, when you need it most, Martha and her talented team of crafts editors offer you the reassurance that you really can make it yourself. The projects are as delightful as they are imaginative, and include classic Roman shades, hand-drawn stuffed animals, an easy upholstered blanket chest, a quilted crib bumper, French knot-embellished pillowcases and sheets, and Japanese-embroidered table linens, among many others.With gorgeous color photographs as well as expert instruction, this handy guide will surely encourage beginners and keep sewers and crafters of all experience levels wonderfully busy for many years to come., Whether you just bought your first sewing machine or have been sewing for years, Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts will open your eyes to an irresistible range of ideas.

  • Good reference material

    This book is an overview of sewing techniques and household sewing projects. It brings together many articles from past issues of her magazines. It doesn't include dressmaking or tailoring. The book includes how-to's on felting, dying, embroidery (machine and hand) and gives examples and patterns for home crafts such as pillow making, felt stuffed animals, tablecloths and more. It is an excellent reference volume.

  • Sew to Your Heart's Content

    I had taken this book out of the library and after looking through it, decided to buy it. For anyone who sews, there will be many projects in here that you will want to do. My only caveat is that the disc in the back of the book, which contains pdf files of some of the patterns, is the large size disc that does not fit into my computer. Many of the projects do not require a pattern from the disc, however.

  • It’s about the condition.

    It came in a plastic bag without ant inner packing to stabilize it so the dust cover was torn and the hardcover was damaged. That and it was late. Couldn’t and wouldn’t give it as a Christmas present.
