Book Reviews of Terrific Tassels & Fabulous Fringe: Heirloom Accents from Modern Materials

Book Review: Very Nice Book Wonderful Instructions a bit Retro Tho
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a great book for the beginning tassle maker. I agree with the other reveiwer who said the word 'fringe' does not belong in the title. The many illustrated instructions are very easy to follow ( shows how to make with machine and by hand) and the material lists are realistic items you can buy locally. My only complaint is it seems a bit dated, such as from the '70's with the color combinations and photos, of course that does not affect the usefulness of the book. Colors can be changed and photos are just for examples after all. It is still a GREAT book for learning and I am thrilled to have it but if you are looking for more contemporary designs I might recommend a Susan Dickens Book or something else more recently published.

Also included are numerous patterns for making fringed projects including a table scarf, footstool, and beaded lampshade. There are as many types of tassels and fringe as there are tastes in crafting.
