This is a general introduction for readers of all levels, to craft projects using textile techniques.

Each section also includes plenty of stimulating ideas for source and reference material.

Topics covered include: images on fabric; creating fabrics; wireframe construction; 3D wire construction; using a heat tool; materials manipulation; adapting traditional techniques; joining, seaming, bonding, layering; mould-making, casting and forming.
