Synopsis

Boat Building Skills explores the rich history and craftsmanship of wooden boat construction in coastal communities, highlighting its vital role in providing fishing jobs and preserving maritime traditions. This book delves into how boat building was more than just a technical skill; it was a cornerstone of family enterprise and cultural identity. Readers will discover the intricate techniques involved, from selecting wood to mastering caulking, and how these skills were passed down through generations.

 
The book examines the social structures and economic ecosystems surrounding boat building during the 19th and 20th centuries, a period when wooden boats were fundamental to nearshore fishing industries. It reveals how this traditional craft supported local economies and shaped coastal life. Through historical shipbuilding manuals, oral histories, and archival photographs, the book presents a ground-level perspective that emphasizes the lived experiences of boat builders.

 
Structured as a comprehensive journey, the book progresses from defining key terms and historical context to detailed case studies of coastal families and an analysis of the economic impact of boat building. It concludes by discussing the challenges facing these traditions in the modern era and offering suggestions for preserving and revitalizing these essential skills.

Sewing Quilted Patchwork Jackets...

Rae Cumbie, Carrie Emerson

Whether using new fabrics or upcycling or repurposing an existing quilt, orphan blocks or fabric scraps, Making Quilted Patchwork Jackets instructs you through each step of the process to handcraft a quilted jacket. You will learn to properly position blocks, add appliqué elements, layer, quilt, and construct piece-by-piece. Authors Rae Cumbie and Carrie Emerson reveal the four different approaches they use: jackets with loose linings and two quilted layers, jackets with the lining quilted into a sandwich for three layers, reversible jackets with two decorative sides and batting in between, and jackets made from already made quilts. For beginners to wearable quilting, the authors provide an overview of basic garment construction, fabric selection, piecing and placement, liners, hem length, and finishing details including collars, cuffs, and pockets. Two basic multi-size downloadable patterns are available--adult and child--with multiple length options. Intermediate and advanced quilters can modify the projects to suit their level of expertise, finding inspiration from the gallery of quilted jacket photographs.
