5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent book by someone who has a designer's approach.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sew the New Fleece: Techniques with Synthetic Fleece and Pile (Paperback)
This book gives good basic information about fleece, its content, the manufacturers, the history of fleece and sewing tips. But what sets this book apart is the way in which Rochelle uses fleece - she uses it the way a designer would use fine wool - she does not limit it to the standard fleece jackets, blankets, and accessories. Using very nice photographs of real clients, Rochelle inspires the modern sewer to try something new with this marvellous fabric - sculpture it, add nylon accents to it artistically, trim it, use it in garments that are functional yet also extremely fashionable. A must-have book for the fleece sewer.

This review is from: Sew the New Fleece: Techniques with Synthetic Fleece and Pile (Paperback)
I read this book and Nancy Cornwell's "Adventures with Polarfleece" simultaneously. Much of the content overlaps, but I felt that this book had more detailed information on construction techniques for fleece used in commercial ready-to-wear garments, and things to look out for. My goal is to make functional outdoor clothing and not fashion oriented garments or baby buntings.. The Cornwell book seemed a little too oriented toward the fashion side.

This review is from: Sew the New Fleece: Techniques with Synthetic Fleece and Pile (Paperback)
This book gives all the basics for sewing fleece, and while it shows some terrific clothes, there are no details to explain how to acheive these looks. The author suggests "modifying" a pattern for a dress or jacket, but never gives specifics on which patterns, what modifications were made, etc. Very frustrating if you have fallen in love with one of the photos and are interested in reproducing the look. You'll have better luck with the Polarfleece Adventures books by Nancy Cornwell.
