Inspiration for the classroom - By: C. Wood, 11 Apr 2008 
I have had this bookin my classroom for a couple of years now & students use it regularily for ideas to usein thier GCSE & A level coursework. A fantastic book that gets used time & time again.
simply helpful - By: T. Valliere-Evans, 01 Mar 2007 This book holds a vast array of images & instruction on the art of fabric manipulation.
The book is easy to read & follow, with lots if images clearly showing the design & process, thus allowing the reader to easily find what they are looking for. If you want to have inspiration &/or technical know-how at your fingertips, then this book will help. We have used itin our Studio as reference for the technicalities of manipulating fabric, but also found, from perusing the pages, that we got great inspiration for new designs or helpin solving others...have fun!
highly recommended! - By: , 16 Jul 2003 fun book full of interesting things to try out. excellent instructions & illustrations of many sewing techniques i've tried to work out for myself over the years. The quilting section expanded on details not coveredin standard quilting books. Some of the other techniques coveredin the book are interesting but not sure if i'll ever put them to use!
To those which know a little - By: ccence@caramail.com, 14 Jul 2000 about how to manipulate fabrics, i found it useful for housework as well as fashion, i highly recommend this book if you have already a skillin sewing things & you're interestedin knowing more
A must-have for the serious sewing room! - By: , 10 Sep 1998 This book putsin one place all the different ways you know how to work fabric: pleats, gathers, darts, etc. All the little things you learned over the years & never got to categorize, plus a few new ones you didn't think of yet. This lady deserves a standing ovation for putting together what so many of us know, but never put to paper. The fact that all the work is done on white material adds to the ability to see exactly what she is doing; no prints or stripes to detract from the simplistic beauty of worked fabric. This book is good for any one, be you beginner or experienced sewing hand. It has,in a short 2 weeks, become one of my favorite books & earned the top shelf honors!
