I like how there are some cottons that I have never seen before, such as cotton moleskin and cotton organdie. The business has expanded considerably since then, and our main emphasis is on high quality highly sought after books in various fields - art; photography; modern 1st's; motoring and other niche/underground obsessions!

This book is budget-friendly as well as it is a generous size to fit in your art studio as well as workplace and comes in handy to you. Honestly I think this section alone makes the book worth purchasing if you've ever felt on the fence about this. It is exhaustive and presents the most eye-catching pieces from the list of the world’s fashion designers. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. The textbook with activities, 210 exclusive fabric samples, Quick Reference Guide tables, pre-printed mounting boards for quick access to all swatches, and an 8x metal pick glass are all contained in a sturdy three-ring binder.

Given that a lot of the work was done for me already, I really like how this book took a large chunk of work away from me.

I have read some reviews where readers primarily focused on the fabric—touching, feeling it, and critiquing it. This updated version of the bestselling Fabric for Fashion: The Swatch Book, includes additional swatches, new close-up photography to show fabrication, yarn windings as well as finished fabric swatches and more! The book will be useful for anyone who works with fabrics and is the ideal companion to the Fabric for Fashion book.

Natural fabrics such as cottons, silks, wools and linens are included, as are artificial and synthetic fabrics like nylons, polyesters, microfibres, metallics and soya fabrics, and fabrics made from alternative plant fibres like bamboo and hemp. This is a nice touch since it helps with a deeper understanding of each fiber and ultimately a more informed fabric selection.Here are the 10 most amazing and wonderful fabric swatch books that are must-have but are also affordable. I’m not sure I could’ve named 25 different types of fabric, let alone 125, before picking up this book!
