Shadowfolds — це багате поєднання традиційних мотивів, виражених у сучасному стилі. Техніка, започаткована художником Крісом К. Палмером, створює візерунки з однієї нерозрізаної панелі тканини за допомогою простого триетапного процесу.

У Shadowfolds Джефф Рутцкі, сам досвідчений і пристрасний орігаміст, і Палмер пропонують детальну та захоплюючу інформацію про техніку та її походження як у мавританській плитці, так і в класичному японському орігамі. Палмер вперше зіткнувся з вишуканою мозаїкою Альгамбри і зацікавився тим, що навчився перекладати ці візерунки на складений папір. Він звернувся за натхненням до робіт японських майстрів орігамі Томоко Фюзе, Джун Маекава, Тосікадзу Кавасакі та Шузу Фудзімото, а також до великих американських орігамістів Роберта Ленга та Пітера Енгела.

Потім був перехід до роботи по сукну. Гнучка властивість тканини дозволяє складати складки для збільшення та надання розмірності, якої немає на плоскій поверхні; а напівпрозорість додає неповторної складності геометричним візерункам. Коли лінії у візерунку складаються як складки, отримані форми, утворені складками, стають частиною художнього вираження матеріалу.

Можливості використання Shadowfolds у дизайні безмежні. Деякі аплікації використовують світло, що просвічує тканину, інші демонструють багатство складок, які мають власну глибину. На додаток до пояснення трьох дуже простих кроків техніки, автори показують, як навіть новачки папки можуть створювати захоплюючі витвори текстильного мистецтва, а також передовий одяг, аксесуари та домашні меблі, що містять ці тривимірні прикраси. Вони також включають розділ візерунків, тканини та ресурси для рукоділля.

The second part of the book presents over 600 technical drawings of garment types, styles and construction details, the basic key shapes of which are shown alongside a specially created and photographed calico toile.

Reflecting the episode themes of the third series of The Great British Sewing Bee, each chapter focuses on a type of fabric and demystifies its properties, suitability and uses as well as providing all the instructions and pattern pieces needed to make a collection of universally appealing garments from that fabric type.

Many of the 30 garments in the book appear on screen, either as technical challenges faced by the contestants and designed by Claire-Louise Hardie or as projects devised and made by the contestants. The chapter on Cottons explains the properties of this common fabric and gives a variety of designs including a sleeveless shell top, capri trousers, summer dress and beach shorts. This is followed by chapters on wool and natural fibres, knits and stretch fabrics and then luxury fabrics, including lace and sheers.

With womenswear sizes ranging from 8 to 20 and menswear sizes ranging from XS to XL, as well as the core garment instructions, this book includes all the information you need to get started with your sewing machine and understand both your equipment and the pattern pieces.
