Using quick, easy-to-understand techniques this book brings the traditional couturier's method of creating bespoke garment patterns into the world of the home sewer. Unless you are one of the standard sizes dictated by garment pattern manufacturers (and very, very few women are), you will need to adapt a shop-bought pattern to make it fit you. Draping calico on your body following Lynne Garner's detailed step-by-step instructions results in a pattern block that is shaped to your body & works well in fabric. Learn how to then adapt your basic bodice, sleeve & skirt blocks to create a literally limitless number of gorgeous tops, trousers, skirts & dresses, all of which fit you to perfection. All you need to start your own Perfect Fit wardrobe is some calico, pins & a sewing buddy to help you out (you can return the favour so you both have bespoke pattern blocks). The size of this book is 23.6cm in height & 22.8cm wide with 128 pages. ...

A Pint of Plain is a quest to chronicle the state of the Irish pub today, & thereby to examine Irish culture at a time of great change. When the American writer Bill Barich moved to Dublin, he began searching for a traditional pub to serve as his local. Although he had no shortage of choices, he had trouble finding one that measured up to the archetypal ideal portrayed in Ireland's literature & such iconic movies as The Quiet Man. That suggested something deeper was at play
- a shift in the country's values & identity. As Barich roamed from hectic urban pubs to their dwindling rural counterparts, he met an array of extraordinary characters whose lives are bound up in the trade. He blends the history of Guinness into his account, & also explores the impact of the firms that export 'authentic' Irish pubs around the world. A Pint of Plain will be irresistible to anyone who has been touched by Ireland & cares about its future.

A Perfectly Good Man

The new novel from Patrick Gale, author of Richard & Judy-bestseller ?Notes from an Exhibition?, returning readers to his beloved Cornish coastline. ?Do you need me to pray for you now for a specific reason?? ?I?m going to die.? ?We?re all going to die. Does dying frighten you?? ?I mean I?m going to kill myself.? When 20-year-old Lenny Barnes, paralysed in a rugby accident, commits suicide in the presence of Barnaby Johnson, the much-loved priest of a West Cornwall parish, the tragedy's reverberations open up the fault-lines between Barnaby and his nearest and dearest ? the gulfs of unspoken sadness that separate them all. Across this web of relations scuttles Barnaby's repellent nemesis ? a man as wicked as his prey is virtuous. Returning us to the rugged Cornish landscape of ?Notes
from an Exhibition?, Patrick Gale lays bare the lives and the thoughts of a whole community and asks us: what does it mean to be good?
