The possibilities for three-dimensional manipulation of fabric - gathering, pleating, tucking, shirring, and quilting woven materials - are seemingly endless. To describe them all would be to describe the entire history of sewing. In The Art of manipulating Fabric, Colette Wolff has set herself just this task, and she succeeds brilliantly. Working from the simplest possible form - a flat piece of cloth and a threaded needle - she categorizes all major dimensional techniques, show how they are related, and give examples of variations both traditional and modern. The result is an encyclopedia of techniques that resurface, reshape, restructure and reconstruct fabric. • More than 350 diagrams support the extensive how-tos, organized into broad general categories, then specific sub-techniques • Handsome photos galleries showcase the breathtaking possibilities in each technique and aid visual understanding by emphasizing the sculptured fabric surface with light and shadow • Textile artists and quilters, as well as garment and home decor sewers, will expand their design horizons with the almost limitless effects that can be achieved.

Laces, cutwork, hand embroidery--these are the staples of heirloom sewing, that painstaking art of yesteryear that has all but disappeared. Who can afford the time required to master decorative needlework skills these days? Not many people. But most of us can spend a few hours--in some cases, only a few minutes!--to give new life to an already embellished linen.

Garment sewing is no longer a way to save money. It has evolved into a rewarding, creative use of spare time. Some sewers get up early to sew for a couple of hours; others sew into the late-night talk-show battles. Actually, one of the most successful classes offered in quilt and sewing shops is the all-nighter. Sewing enthusiasts love taking these classes and workshops to get away from stresses at home and work-and to hone their sewing and surging skills to boot. Some just like to join other sewers for a sewathon.
