FREE: Secrets of Eskimo Skin Sewing by Edna Wilder

The listing, Secrets of Eskimo Skin Sewing by Edna Wilder has ended.

Paperback, New. Published by University of Alaska, Fairbanks Press.

"Long in print and still the definitive guide, Secrets of Eskimo Skin Sewing is packed with clear, easy-to-understand instructions, drawings, and photographs to lead readers to any skill level through the process of turning natural or man-made furs and hides into handsome, useful garments.

...Although natural fur and hides were traditionally used, the book's guidance is completely adaptable to modern synthetic leathers and artificial furs. Similarly, the guidance offered in these pages on traditional Native beadworking materials and basket making works as well for plastic beads and basketry materials unknown to the Alaska wilderness."

A very unusual and unique book I brought back with me from my living and working in Northwest Alaska. In excellent new condition, from a smoke-free and pet-free home.


***GIN*** and you receive a bonus booklet called "Sled Dog Wisdom", a small book of humorous and heartwarming tales from Alaska's mushers! (Also new condition) collected by Tricia Brown.
