About this product
Product Information
This easily navigable resource provides 125 swatches of the most recognized and widely used varieties of fabric to encourage consideration of not just their aesthetic appeal but also their structure, feel and weight. Natural fabrics such as cottons, silks, wools and linens are included, as are artificial and synthetic fabrics like nylons, polyesters, microfibres, metallics and soya fabrics, and fabrics made from alternative plant fibres like bamboo and hemp. With information on fibres, basic construction of fabrics, weights, construction, and weave comparison, the book will help student fashion designers to make informed textile choices based upon an understanding of raw materials together with the processes that make up a fabric. The book will be useful for anyone who works with fabrics and is the ideal companion to Fabric for Fashion: The Complete Guide.Product Identifiers

A real money saver.
This is a great tool for anyone wanting to sew. Now I can choose my fabric by feel and by its characteristics then order it by name over the internet. This could pay for itself in no time by preventing me from ordering the wrong fabrics! It's great that there are no colours or patterns on the swatches so I'm not influenced by anything other than the feel and the description of what the fabric is good for.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Fantastic folder
This folder is amazing not only it gives you the searches for you to feel but also explains a little how their made or where they came from. This is a great item if you’re first starting off to see or advance level as this book can be used for referencing back to materials. I’m very happy I bought this 😊Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Book.
This is really one of the best investments I've made. It is pricey;no doubt, however I needed to have a better understanding of Fabrics. Having the fabrics at hand to touch and to feel is invaluable.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
