Customer Reviews

Not so amazing...3
I bought this book hoping for something helpful to enhance my quilts, but the authors are too "artistic" for my humble needs... A lot of fabric to dye, fusible web to fuse and optical wall hangings...
Indeed there are some good new ideas, but all in all I'm a bit disappointed: not a single project to hold my breath and think "I'll do it right now!". Even the cover-project (by far the best of the book) was not-so-sparky-as-it-seems...
I've already bought another book on origami fabric... hoping for the better...

Cool Idea!4
I was very excited to recieve this book but once I opened it I was a little dismayed by how difficult each "oragami" was. I was often unable to get much help from the reference photo due to the fact that the author chose such garish colours. All in all it is an interresting idea and once I figure out how to make a few things I think it will be a good creative resource.

Good description and directions4
I found this book to be a great help. I'm new to oragami and the directions are very good for baginners.
