A Fresh Twist On Fabric Folding

Best-selling author Rebecca Wat delivers more impact than ever with new folded-fabric quilts and accessories.

Folding fabric origami style to make 3-dimensional quilted projects.

Origami traditionally uses paper instead of fabric, but many of its folding techniques work just as well in both materials. Some folds are even easier to achieve in fabric, as it is more forgiving than paper – just iron out any mistakes and refold. Folding fabric is quicker than complex piecing and sewing, and is a wonderful way to make quilts more visually interesting by adding three-dimensional effects. This book is an exciting guide to a wide range of folded fabric techniques, from using origami folds to manipulating with tucks and twists. It begins with a brief history of folded fabric around the world, then covers a range of traditional fabric folding techniques. Basic folding instructions and preparation techniques for the 20 projects in the book are illustrated with clear step-by-step photographs and diagrams. At the end is a handy section with basic techniques for constructing quilts, along with useful contact addresses. Folding fabric is easy, quick and gives stunning results, so this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in manipulating fabric, whether they are a beginner or just wish to learn new skills.
