Ditty Bag Book: A Guide for Sailors

This slim volume is a fine primer for the classic art of hand sailmaking, the craft of creating necessary items for seamanship from line (hemp) and canvas duck, waxed twine, and sail needles. Perfect for beginners. An excellent gift for any mariner.

I had one of these already, but the publisher changed the Front Cover picture and I thought it must be an up dated version. The book is printed in China, so no one that reads English had enough knowledge to change the covers description inside the front cover. Oh well, it only cost a penny, plus $3.99 S/H. Let the buyer beware!!!! The author passed away 20 years ago, so why did stupid me think it would be UPDATED?.

A great book on ditty bag

A great book illustrateed well.

The book explains not only how to make a ditty bag, but explains the tools and practices utilized in the process. The seller shipped it out quickly, which made it even better.

My boyfriend, an avid sailor, asked for this book by name and hasn't put it down... Thank you for making him so happy!

Very good, I had it before, but could not find it, untill , I got my new copy, then it showed up.

I'm not sure anything, when it's related to the world of seafaring, can be complete, this book certainly did meet my needs.

Great little book for anyone who is starting to sew canvas.

Libro muy general que trata de enseñar herramientas y metodos de costura para grilletes y demas elementos de jarcia y vela, pero sin llegar a profundizar.
