Synopsis
This volume demonstrates the techniques for the three-dimensional manipulation of fabric. It categorizes the techniques showing how they are related, giving examples of both modern and traditional variations. The techniques show how to reconstruct a flat piece of cloth using only a threaded needle., 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, Presenting an encyclopedia of techniques to resurface, reshape, restructure, and reconstruct fabric. More than 350 diagrams show how to begin with the simplest flat piece of cloth and progress to a beautiful finished tapestry., The possibilities for three-dimensional manipulation of fabric - gathering, pleating, tucking, shirring, and quilting woven materials - are seemingly endless.

    Very professional! I received all the books that I' ve ordered in good condition as described an packaging was ok.The only problem it was with the VAT that was taken from me twice( once by Ebay when I payed and once in my EU country România by Romanian Post office). I advised to afast delivery with another delivery company.Great value for the money spent, but delivery expensive.I reques an refund from Ebay with proof of VAT receipts and hopefully they will sort it out. HAVE A WONDERFULL DAY!

    Quite pleased on how quickly the cookbooks arrived and the extra secure packaging made all the difference. They were perfectly as described and the condition of them looked great. The overall price was a steal, no way I'd pass on this. A very highly recommended seller offering top-tier customer service. Thank you so much, everything was fantastic.
