Introduction
Most of us live in a consumer society where we purchase what we need and
what we want, leaving the design and construction to someone else,
presumably someone with more experience and skill than us. There are,
however, certain areas – some might say the most important areas – where we
intervene to shape the course of creation. When it comes to our homes, we do
not typically ask someone else to choose the decor, nor do we usually leave our
tattoo to the artist’s discretion.
Our private lives, often the truest possible expression of our inner selves, are
where we most desire creative control.
This book was written to assist the reader in designing and constructing
fetishwear, restraints, sensory deprivation devices, toys and whips.
When the fit should be precise, as is generally the case with fetishwear, making

will decrease.
This book was written to be a creative resource, so think of the projects as
simplified designs, or templates. Following the instructions will make a quality
