In Stitch Magic, fashion & textile expert Alison Reid teaches sewers how to manipulate & sculpt fabric by using such techniques as folding, cutting, pleating, tucking, gathering, & stitching, creating entirely new surfaces & textures in the process.
The resulting fabrics, which look sophisticated & complex but are actually relatively simple & inexpensive to produce, can be used for entire textiles, such as cushions or blinds, or to create fashion accessories or embellishments.
Stitch Magic serves as both a technical reference guide, which the sewer can consult time & again, as well as an inspiring project book. Among the beautiful, modern projects included are curtains & cushions, a throw, shawl, cape, necklace, & bag. Detailed illustrations throughout make all of the instructions easy to follow.
