Review on 🧡 Felt Fashion: Elevating Couture with Garments and Accessories by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great for your coffee table, not your studio

I haven't delved into this book although I like Gile's work, particularly the large geometric cover (in the form of a cloak from her blog) and floral scarves. It depends on the procedures. Giles shows you how to form garment felt while hanging from a mannequin. I may not be adventurous, but I don't see myself as noticeable. But it's interesting to see how Giles does it. Also, I don't like the haute couture aspect. I can stitch and sew pieces together when making clothes, but I prefer felting and make seamless pieces that can be worn two ways. Seams can make clothing unnecessarily bulky. I do not know, especially when the petals are sculpted to create a sculptural effect. Giles gives you just as much to make a pattern so it doesn't look exactly like their own creations (more like potters leaving out an important detail or ingredient in a glaze so scribes can't copy it). I made three versions of the floral scarf and was unhappy with all three. I heard a friend and textile artist complain that her famous pink scarf wasn't included in this post. It would be interesting to see if other readers are happy with the projects they have made from this book. Buy to look good and add color to a shelf or coffee table. especially when shaping the petals to create a sculptural effect.
