Synopsis

Centred on a playful, layer-by-layer approach, this book shows how collaged silks, transparent organza and ribbons can be built up into original soft textiles. Mitrofanis combines embroidery threads and ribbons with knitting and other yarns, then adds depth using raised embroidery, cords, metallic threads and beads.

Across 144 pages, 28 projects are presented with full instructions for exact reproduction, alongside ideas for adapting materials on hand or mixing techniques to develop a more individual result. Finished pieces are supported by extensive colour photography and sketches, with 144 colour illustrations throughout, and the author also shares practical hints on materials, threads and equipment.
