Bias-cut Dressmaking is the best easy-to-follow guide to bias-cut clothes. It provides step-by-step instructions and diagrams for making over 40 items of clothing that are cut on the bias. The bias-cut technique is used by designers for cutting clothing to utilize the greater stretch in the bias or diagonal direction of the fabric. This allows the fabric to accentuate body lines and curves and drape softly. Bias-cut garments were an important feature of the designs of Madeleine Vionnet in the 1920s and 1930s but are now timeless. This classic text on the subject includes making skirts, dresses, trousers, eveningwear and even lingerie. You can make a halterneck evening dress, a cowl-necked shift dress, palazzo pants, bias-cut culottes, a cowl camisole, a strapless evening dress or a slightly flared bias skirt. The text is clearly written and laid out, making the beauty and the comfort of bias-cut clothing accessible to those not overly familiar with this type of dressmaking, including fashion students and amateur dressmakers.

Gedser Kirke, ikke blot Danmarks, men også Skandinaviens sydligste kirke blev indviet Palmesøndag 1915 og bliver således snart 100 år. Denne milepæl skal naturligvis markeres på behørig vis og derfor har menighedsrådet besluttet at udgive dette festskrift. Kirken står næsten som dengang, den blev indviet, men det ydre er dog blevet totalt renoveret i 2014. Taget er udskiftet og murværket har gennemgået en meget nødvendig restaurering og opretning, da det var meget medtaget som følge af den udsatte beliggenhed tæt ved Østersøen. Vi er meget tilfredse med resultatet og vil gerne takke Lolland-Falsters Stift, Entreprenørfirmaet Troels Jørgensen, og Etn Arkitekter for et godt og konstruktivt samarbejde under hele forløbet. Desuden er det gamle Frobenius-orgel udskiftet med et nyt, der er bygget af orgelbyggerfirmaet P.G. Andersen og Bruhn. Orglet giver også fremover muligheder for koncerter, da det er langt mere avanceret end det gamle, der var helt nedslidt. Med dette skrift vil vi i tekst og billeder give et indtryk af de 100 år, der er gået og ikke mindst sætte fokus på renoveringen og det nye orgel.

"More than just a story of an abiding cultural preoccupation, The Longing For Less peels back the commodified husk of minimalism to reveal something surprising and thoroughly alive." -Jenny Odell, author of How to Do Nothing "Thoughtful and absorbing . . . A superb outing from a gifted young critic that will spark joy in many readers." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Less is more": Everywhere we hear the mantra. Marie Kondo and other decluttering gurus promise that shedding our stuff will solve our problems. We commit to cleanse diets and strive for inbox zero. Amid the frantic pace and distraction of everyday life, we covet silence-and airy, Instagrammable spaces in which to enjoy it. The popular term for this brand of upscale austerity, "minimalism," has mostly come to stand for things to buy and consume. But minimalism has richer, deeper, and altogether more valuable gifts to offer. Kyle Chayka is one of our sharpest cultural observers. After spending years covering minimalist trends for leading publications, he now delves beneath this lifestyle's glossy surface, seeking better ways to claim the time and space we crave. He shows that our longing for less goes back further than we realize. His search leads him to the philosophical and spiritual origins of minimalism, and to the stories of artists such as Agnes Martin and Donald Judd; composers such as John Cage and Julius Eastman; architects and designers; visionaries and misfits. As Chayka looks anew at their extraordinary lives and explores the places where they worked-from Manhattan lofts to the Texas high desert and the back alleys of Kyoto-he reminds us that what we most require is presence, not absence. The result is an elegant new synthesis of our minimalist desires and our profound emotional needs.
