Description

An exploration of the many areas in which contemporary techniques of fabric decoration embrace skills that have been handed down through many generations. Through illustrations the work of makers instructions are given for embroidery, applique, tie and dye, batik, pleating, ruching and rouleaux. Each chapter surveys cultural and textile traditions, describes the basic materials and techniques and suggests projects ranging from cushion covers and wall hangings to clothing and kites. - from Amzon
