Back issues of Piecework magazines from 1993 to 2019. This magazine has articles and patterns about many different techniques of needlework, all made by hand.
There's generally an article about the technique - usually a history of the technique or one special person who creates with that technique and usually includes a bibliography for further reading. And then there is generally a simple pattern using that technique.
Techniques include knitting, crocheting, kumihimo, quilting, embroidery, using buttons, beading, canvas work, felt work, tatting, lace work, and more.
Articles are about techniques from all over the world including Peru, Japan, Spain, Native American, Hungary, Latvia, Norway, Burma, Sweden, Germany, Estonia, Russia, and more.
