Review: Very informative book - I’ve bought this book as a gift. I have a copy of my own which is great for trying out a wide variety of fabric manipulations including smocking, controlled pleats, godets , with full instructions on how to do them. All photographs are in black and white which is fine because the fabrics used in all techniques are also white which makes the textures of the fabric very visible.
Review: Excellent source of information - I couldn't put the book down when it first arrived! Lots of knowledge, useful diagrams and photos showing techniques. Will be an invaluable source when I start sewing some of my ideas and making them reality!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic for beginners and experienced textile junkies
*by S***R on 1 November 2016*

If you love fabric flowers, ruching, shirring, VV Rouleux ribbons, pleating etc and you like Molly Goddard's dresses and Boho outfits, then you need to buy this book. I learnt more from 10 minutes reading this in a café than I have on some sewing courses. You can translate every technique in here onto any project, try it on quilts, bags, curtains, you name it. This book is a bible of knowledge and demystifies what looks complex in couture, to very simple samples, that will give your projects the WOW factor. No need to buy textured, expensive dress fabrics, you CAN do it yourself.
