Résumé

The possibilities for three-dimensional manlpslition of I 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, shows how they are related, and gives exam pies of votations 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 photo 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.
