Not disappointed

disappointedindenver from Colorado, Aug 13, 2009

How the heck do you change your screen name? Oh well, anyway, I love this book. If you love working with fabric you will not be dissappointed, I wasn't! Well thought out book, great instructions. I can not wait to try some of the techniques. Great book and value.

Fascinating book

vee101 from Austin, TX, Jul 24, 2009

If you love fabric you'll love this book. It shows amazing things you can do with fabric. All examples are done with muslin so that the details can be seen and color and pattern not distract. That is my one complaint. I would have liked to see the treatments in color and also in a finished garment. However, I understand the author's purist reasons for the way she organized it.

Great and in depth

bethanyfrompa from Philadelphia, PA, Jul 12, 2009

This book is great for anyone who wants to get into creative clothing design, or any sort of craft having to do with fabric. It defines different ways of creating a look, then goes into detail for how to achieve it, with pictures for many of the processes.
