Toss out the idea of vintage chenille bedspreads--Re-Inventing Chenille will open the door to new designs and uses. Author Nannette Holmberg presents her innovative technique for adding chenille texture to fashion and home decor--a simplified approach that makes it easy to create chenille, by embellishing ready-made skirts or thrift store denim jackets. Her unique method of stitching continuous bias to water-soluble stabilizer produces soft, luxurious jackets and scarves. The "re-invented chenille" technique is also great for creating items for the home such as quilts, wall hangings and baby blankets.

In Re-Inventing Chenille you'll find:

20 exciting projects, from fashion (jackets, skirts, tops) to home dTcor (pillows, wall hangings)
clear step-by-step instructions and detailed photos
expert advice on stitching and layering techniques, cutting bias strips from fabric or working with commercial bias, hand-dyeing bias and much more
a unique process for creating jackets and scarves from continuous bias stitched to water-soluble stabilizer
end-of-chapter galleries showing even more creative uses of chenille

Experience chenille in an exciting new way with Re-Inventing Chenille.
