Book Reviews of The Art of Manipulating Fabric
Book Review: Must have
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm new to sewing and looking for the best books to build on. I've never seen anything like this. It gives pictures of each technique and has so many techniques you would be numb not to be creatively inspired. Who would think that manipulating a flat object into a projecting one could be done in so many variations with so many different possible effects? This book is a must have.Book Review: Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
This books is perfect for everyone who enjoys sewing and wants to bring their projects to a higher level. As the title would indicate, this book teaches one the techniques of manipulating fabric. I love that there are many pictures of the techniques and that I can apply the techniques to any sewing projects; I use it for making clothes and my mother uses it for making curtains.Book Review: A Treasured Must-Have
Summary: 5 Stars
Texture, movement, sway, swag... and more. No prints or color to distract from form, just the fabric manipulated to stand strong, or pout, stipple or ripple in the stream, sharply pleat, or undulate with pleasure. Particularly canted toward those with imagination, this is a profound source book for textural ideas to which I return again and again; a magnificent work.Book Review: Good for reference & inspiration, but......
Summary: 3 Stars
I had researched this book at a local bookstore for a few days before purchasing it used on Amazon.com. The illustrations in this book had me inspired immediatly. However, applying the various applications can be difficult.Finding the how-to's (a bit vague at best) that accompany the pictures are very difficult.Good for reference/inspiration, poor for actual how-to.Book Review: Wonderful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
The Art of Manipulating Fabric is a wonderful book. There are excellent pictures or diagrams on every page. The instruction for creating the details covered in the book are excellent as well. Easy to follow. I would recommend this book to any seamstress who wants to improve their sewing by adding these special deatails that make a garment truely special.
