Before appearing on the BBCs The Great British Sewing Bee; Chinelo Bally had never used a sewing pattern. She wowed the judges with her ability to create stylish; fitted garments using a freehand cutting method that was taught to her by an aunt. In Freehand Fashion; Chinelo lets us in to the secret of how she does it. Using a series of basic garment blocks; she explains how this innovative technique can be used to create a whole wardrobe of fashionable clothes that will fit every shape and size - with no patterns required. Based on a traditional Nigerian technique; Chinelo has developed her own freehand cutting method. The emphasis is on the individualrsquo;s own body measurements; and getting the perfect fit. This is a surprisingly simple technique that anyone can learn. No fancy equipment is needed - just a sewing machine; measuring tape; chalk and of course a good pair of scissors. Using step-by-step illustrations; the book shows how to draft; cut and construct the five basic blocks that are used - either singly or in combination - to make every item of clothing in the wardrobe. Once you have your basic blocks; you are ready to tackle the projects - practical garments that are fashionable; modern; stylish and versatile. There are tops; skirts; day dresses and eveningwear. This is an exciting sewing technique that will be brand new to most people; even experienced dressmakers. There really are no limits - and the beauty of this technique is that it can be applied to any body shape.

Fresh Translation and Running Commentary of The Gospel of JudasBy Matthew GrotheerGathercole offers a fresh new translation of the well know Gospel of Judas. This book is a very good introduction to some issues surrounding this popular gospel. One of the most helpful items Gathercole includes is a new translation into English as well as a running commentary on Judas. He helpfully portrays the clearly Gnostic ideas at work in its composition (and contrasts it with the canonical gospels). This book helps bring balance to the numerous conspiracy theories out there in certain scholarly circles about the nature of the canonical gospels (as well as the non-canonical ones) and their canonization. I seriously doubt that the discovery of this "gospel" (or any other new ones for that matter) is any real "threat to 2000 years of Christian teaching." I recommend this book for any interested in the area of study dealing with the apocryphal gospels and their significance for further gospel studies.0 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Get some Mystic teaching educationBy judaswasjamesWhen will Christians take the time and trouble to learn Mystic teaching? Page 169: "We have already seen as much [suffering and death of Christ is the solution to sin] in the teaching of Jesus about his death in Mark 10:45. "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many." This is not Jesus saying he will DIE for anyone! He will give his "Psuchen" or Life force. or Soul. his "life breath" -- from the Greek. He didnt say he will DIE to do it! The Gospel of Judas is the antidote to the fiction of the canonical Betrayal myth. It is perhaps showing the actual beginning of it. with "you will sacrifice THE MAN who bears me" -- which is JUDAS. not Jesus! He sacrifices HIMSELF to become one with his Master -- "You will be replaced by someone. *in order that* the Twelve may again come to completion in their God". (36.1-3) Judas is the new Master. succeeding his Master. Jesus. taking his fellow disciples with him back to God. Matthias is NOT mentioned. This character. Judas is also a stand-in for James the Just: "I had a vision of the disciples stoning me and persecuting me severely" (44.25) Only James the Just is historically recorded (Clement Rec. 1:70) as having been stoned BY FELLOW DISCIPLES in this place and period. Judas is the stand-in for the successor. JAMES. like Dr. Eisenman found in his work on the Scrolls. and like I found in the canonical Betrayal. as well as First and Second Apocalypses of James (James in C. Tchacos).WHY is it a farmer from Hawaii has to straighten out the orthodox scholars? Cant they read Mystic teaching for themselves?http://www..com/James-Brother-Jesus-Dead-Scrolls/dp/0985599138/ref=pd_cp_b_0http://www..com/The-Bible-says-Saviors-ebook/dp/B00CFWE40I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8qid=1378005590sr=8-1keywords=the+bible+says+saviors[...]
