Thanks to public interest I have prepared a facsimile edition of my long out of print "A basic Guide to Making your own Outdoor Activities Clothing " book.
Unfortunately the original work was lost when the printer closed down and sold the business, equally unfortunately my personal copies were loaned out - and never returned!
It has been suggested to me that some members of this site might like to own copies and that I produce PDF facsimile edition, scanned from a copy given to me by a member of this site.

The booklet has several sections -
A - Intro
B - Seams and methods
C- projects
Points to bear in mind
1 - waterproof chaps
2 -Mitts
3 - Windshirt
4 - Waterproof Jacket
5 - Over trousers
6 - Walking Trousers
7 - Walking Jacket
8 - Gaiters.
D -Further reading


Admittedly not all the info in the book is now in date - some of the addresses for suppliers etc - and the items are basic not modern fashion, designs and some of the scale grids on the copy I have are not the sharpest repros ever ... but the book is still usable.


If you are interested in owning a PDF or word document of the book then it will cost a mere £5 for emailed versions or plus £1 P&P if you want a disk version.
PM me for payment details and the address to send me your money!

At 44.7MB it is too big for me to send by e-mail in one hit... so several individual emails with long download times!

It would upload to skydrive (the file area of a hotmail account) and you can lock it down so that only people you send a link to, can access it.
 
Thanks to the generosity of a member here the file is only 5.7 MB and is easy to email:)
First post now edited :)
