Nearly every household has piles of old clothes and scraps of material packed away in odd places, occasionally to be pulled out and inspected with a view to throwing them away and making space but more often just put back with the idea that they may come in handy one day. Generally, however, they are stored away in order to avoid waste or in sentimental memory of happy occasions in the past. This book is a simple account of how they may be put to use, at the same time giving considerable pleasure to yourself and to others.
