About this product

Product Information

The possibilities for three-dimensional manipulation of fabric - gathering, pleating, tucking, shirring, and quilting woven materials - are seemingly endless. To describe them all would be to describe the entire history of sewing. In The Art of manipulating Fabric, Colette Wolff has set herself just this task, and she succeeds brilliantly. Working from the simplest possible form - a flat piece of cloth and a threaded needle - she categorizes all major dimensional techniques, show how they are related, and give examples of variations both traditional and modern. The result is an encyclopedia of techniques that resurface, reshape, restructure and reconstruct fabric.More than 350 diagrams support the extensive how-tos, organized into broad general categories, then specific sub-techniques Handsome photos galleries showcase the breathtaking possibilities in each technique and aid visual understanding by emphasizing the sculptured fabric surface with light and shadow Textile artists and quilters, as well as garment and home decor sewers, will expand their design horizons with the almost limitless effects that can be achieved|The possibilities for three-dimensional manipulation of fabric - gathering, pleating, tucking, shirring, and quilting woven materials - are seemingly endless.

  • Very helpful and easy to understand.

    Great Book. Highly recommend!! Easy to follow instructions. Great for beginners or advanced sewers. Would make the perfect gift for anyone who loves to sew.

  • A fantastic book full of ingenious ideas and at a good price.

    This book is amazing for all creative sewers! I bought this to help me with my fashion degree and it is very good value for money, with a big variety of techniques and really inspires you to think outside the box when it comes to making garments. The only thing I would say I dislike is that on some techniques it is hard to understand how to do it. I think maybe it should have more description and maybe a rate for each technique of how difficult it is to do. Overall though a fantastic book full of ingenious ideas and a good price to pay.
