It's a Wrap II: Sewing New Shapes, Exploring New Techniques

I was familiar with the product, bought it to refresh my memory, making wrapped vases.

When going through the different patterns, I would come up with some of my own alterations and ideas.

I was very pleased when I received this book and it was just like new even though it was used. It had no indications that it had even been opened. It was securely packaged and absolutely no damage occurred during shipping. I'm very pleased because buying it new would have been a lot more. I love all the new ideas inside and can't wait to start making my projects!

I would like to thank the author, Susan Breier, for continuing the tradition of excellence in this wonderful craft in Its a Wrap II! I wish I had her creativity to come up with such beautiful designs, colors, decorations! I am just happy to try to re-create the designs she has demonstrated in the books. This second book is a perfect follow up! For those of us who have become moderately proficient, seeing the next level is a whole new inspiration! Your square basket with the rolled upper edge (Page 31) gave me an idea to try to make round roll edged "baskets" that I would then turn over, decorate, and give to my twin granddaughters for fun hats! I will follow your directions and I fully expect the "basket hats" turn out great! Thanks for a great sequel to this inspiring art!L. Parker - Pittsboro, NC

I purchased It's A Wrap and fell in love with this craft. It's A Wrap II provides more tips and ideas on this wonderful craft. Basically, this craft involves cutting strips of fabric and wrapping it around clothesline. Then coiling the clothesline and using a simple zigzag stitch to form the shape of a basket, bowl, purse or whatever you wish to make.The author explains the method for creating the project very well with illustrations, pictures and detailed instructions. Mrs. Breier offers numberous projects you can make by following her instructions. It is very easy to create your own projects after learning the basics.Although I already had the first book, I found this second book very helpful. I would highly recommend this book for crafters and sewers. You only need basic sewing skills to successfully complete a project.

She give you easy step by step instructions. It was very helpful with information, hints and tricks.

Saw a demo of this craft at a quilt show, got hooked, bought the supplies and book and came home. I have made things that were so much prettier than I ever thought I could make - for myself, for fundraisers, for gifts. Love the shapes and the embellishment ideas. Outstanding photos and great instructions. And, I get to whittle down my quilting stash! Table accessories and totes are the easiest to make and are so very pretty. I get to use up all kinds of threads from my stash, too!

I have the original "It's a Wrap" book and liked it so much I ordered this book too. I was really looking forward to seeing what else could be done with this technique. I was dissappointed that there was not much new stuff in this book. This is a great stand alone book on the subject, but if you already own the first book then this book won't do much more for you. So, my advice is to pick one or the other but not both. You can't go wrong with either book.

Good project book, will dip into

This is a fantastic book. There are many different bowls to make. The instructions are clear and there are lots of pictures to help you along. There are various embellishing techniques shown as well. If you have ever thought about making wrapped clothesline bowls, this is the book to use.

great inspiration and description of projects - i want to start making them all now, they look so much fun!

Great ideas
