Lark Crafts Call for Proposals: "Craft Challenge: Scarves"
We’re looking for fresh, original designs sewn from upcycled vintage scarves to publish (along with how-to instructions) in an upcoming book geared toward the beginner/ intermediate stitcher. The tone of this 132-page paperback will be clean and sophisticated, with an urban... edge. Urbane, chic, sassy designs are more likely to be accepted than sweet or cute proposals.
