Puzzle Weste

Puzzle Weste, by Galina Tihonova and Regina Stenglein.
A5, soft cover, 48 pages, colour.  In German (no English)
This book contains several Russian tape lace motifs, and several types of ground and edgings.  The idea is to piece them together, overlaying the motifs over the ground, on a paper pattern for a waistcoat, and make it up on a big pillow.   There are even pictures in it of how to make the pillow!  The concept is great.  It includes ideas like making an thin tape edging around a bust dart and hand sewing them together on assembly.  I bought my copy from the Kloeppelshop in Germany for 18.90 Euros plus postage
