All new fabric savvy - a quick reference guide to choosing and using fabric

Om boken

The essential guide for every sewer just got better! AH New Fabric Savvy is updated to include detailed information on 107 different fabrics, must-know information on determining fabric content, working with knits, working with different types of interfacing as well as removing stains and choosing lining material; recommended tools and notions; illustrated reference sections on seams, details, closures and hems; 476 photographs and 110 illustrations. Organised alphabetically, the 107 fabrics include old favourites-like cotton, wool, knits and silks-to new options, some of which you might never have heard of or sewn with--synthetics; those that resist water, sun, stains, and wrinkles; those made from animal hides (and, of course, their faux cousins); those regenerated from wood pulp; and many more.
