Product Description
This book demystifies the process of colouring cloth using a variety of techniques including fabric paints, pastels, dyes, bleaches and transfers. It combines simple techniques to produce complex textile surfaces, and describes exactly how these effects are achieved with easy-to-understand step-by-step photographs and instructions.Many people have competent sewing skills but lack the confidence to create their own designs - this book will help them to explore their own creative potential to achieve effective and original designs.

Format:Paperback
this is one of the best books i've bought for ages - such a relief to find a technically competent and aspirational book, no projects here, just raw and refined inspiration to make your mouth water!
the thought process, artistic journey and treatment of surfaces are all clearly explained and sensitively photographed.

This book will have you wanting to sew whether you can sew or not you will be inspired! Some of the techniques shown in this book will have mixed media artists drooling nevermind the stitchers! If you only ever buy one book based on quilting or working techniques on fabric this is that book!
