Book Reviews of The Art of Manipulating Fabric
Book Review: Must have
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm new to sewing and looking for the best books to build on. I've never seen anything like this. It gives pictures of each technique and has so many techniques you would be numb not to be creatively inspired. Who would think that manipulating a flat object into a projecting one could be done in so many variations with so many different possible effects? This book is a must have.
Summary of The Art of Manipulating Fabric
Those who knit, crochet, or embroider have long had sources to which to turn for in-depth instructions on specific stitches and stitch combinations. Now there is such a reference for the sewer--an encyclopedic approach to gathering, shirring, ruffling, tucking, pleating, and quilting and their myriad variations. Filled with hundreds of diagrams and crisp black-and-white photos, this volume explains in detail how to achieve a tremendous range of three-dimensional fabric effects. This is not a book of particular projects; this is a book of instruction and inspiration for anyone who has ever wielded needle and thread. --Amy HandyFashion Books
