If the cover alone doesn’t grab your attention the information inside certainly will. Fabricate: 17 Innovative Sewing Projects that Make Fabric the Star shows you a variety of techniques that teach you how to create how to create one-of a kind, custom fabrics plus the projects that will show them off!
I’ve been reading this book for over a week now and have enjoyed learning some new techniques – some of my favorites? Stitchless Embroidery – I love how the author made simple bits of fabric and string look so elegant on a shirt…. plus it’s easy to boot! Puffed Tufts – I’ve seen this technique on bridal\evening gowns and have always wondered how this look was achieved (now I can give it a try for myself). Fused Plastic – because I love the idea of recycling all those bags I get from the store. Applied Felt – The “Dots Bag” included in the book was one of my favorite designs…. keep an eye out for this one as I think it would make a perfect swap item!
The Bottom Line: If you have trouble finding the perfect fabric and are tapped out on embellishing techniques, then Fabricate is the book for you.
