Twentieth-Century Pattern Design
$35.00
The first book to examine pattern as an essential part of twentieth-century design history is now available in paperback. Organized by decade, Twentieth-Century Pattern Design details the technical innovations that affected the development of modern textiles and wallpapers. With stunning color plates and lively text, Lesley Jackson takes readers on a tour of the development of twentieth-century patterns from around the world. Focusing on surface pattern in the home, Jackson draws frequent parallels to the worlds of fashion, packaging, and graphics and explores the interrelationship between painting and pattern design. The result is a book that is as inspiring as it is informative. Twentieth-Century Pattern Design is an invaluable resource for modern design enthusiasts and historians, collectors, and interior and graphic designers.

Pattern (Math Counts)
$4.95
This whole Math Counts series is great! They are a fun, easy way to introduce kids as early as 3 (my son's age) to math concepts. The large colorful photographs of everyday things help reinforce the different concepts. It helps kids to see the differenes in length, shapes in everyday things, patterns in things all around them, etc. Not too wordy, but great at getting the point accross.

Sew Fast Sew Easy Dotted Pattern Paper
$8.00
I bought this pattern paper when I wanted to draft my own skirts using the book Sew What! Skirts. The paper arrives folded and includes only a small amount (another reviewer mentioned that it is 4 yards). I found the paper cumbersome to handle and cut would have preferred to receive paper on a roll. I ended up purchasing graph paper from an art supply store (50 yards for $50, I think), which is on a roll and so doesn't have any fold lines to iron out.
