The Art of Manipulating Fabric By Colette Wolff

In The Art of Manipulating Fabric, Colette Wolff has set herself just this task, and she succeeds brilliantly. Working from the simplest form- a flat piece of cloth and a threaded needle- she categorizes all major dimensional techniques, shows how they are related, and gives examples of variations, both traditional and modern. The result is an encyclopedia of techniques that resurface, reshape, restructure, and reconstruct fabric. It includes more than 350 diagrams, supporting the extensive how-tos, organized into broad general categories, then specific sub-techniques.
