Re Inventing Chenille: Fresh Sewing Techniques & Projects Re-Inventing Chenille shows how easy it is to add the appealing look & texture of chenille to both clothing & home decor. Readers learn how to work with bias to make it bloom (i.e., fray), whether they purchase rolls of bias or cut their own from fabric following the authors instructions. The techniques & designs the author provides can be adapted easily to other projects, especially with ready-to-wear items & recycled apparel. Many of the 20 projects require minimum sewing skill, while the chapter Working with Unexpected Materials presents surprises such as creating jackets from old lace tablecloths or bias sewn to water-soluble stabilizer. About the Author Nannette Holmberg is a clothing designer whose work has been shown in galleries, museums & fine shops throughout the west. Her Chenille-It (trademark) & Blooming Bias (trademark) products are sold in shops & online.
