Kaffe Fassett, the
master of color whose career has influenced the worlds of fashion, needlecrafts
and quilting, along with FreeSpirit Fabrics are pleased to introduce Kaffe
Fassett Sew Artisan! This first-ever EBook
for Kaffe, is filled with simple, yet bold, patchwork quilts, clean-line
fashions and easy-to-make accessories, showing quilters and sewists how to mix
and match his newest fabric range, Artisan.
Within the 72
pages of this EBook, Kaffe effortlessly weaves his 100% cotton two-color print,
hand-dyed batik, yarn-dyed woven and Ikat Artisan fabrics into everything from
simple patchy quilts and cushions to casual table fashions and even a child’s
tent.
“My Artisan
fabrics were something I had dreamt of creating, inspired by my travels to
ethnic markets where I witnessed how people used the fibers and textiles of
their regions to create beautifully hand-crafted works.” said Kaffe. “In Sew
Artisan! I bring together these different types of ‘ethnic’ fabrics, and show
you how they can be sewn together to make quilts, garments, and accessories.”
This EBook
offers 14 projects featured in four-color photography with step-by-step
instructions plus tips and techniques which encourage the quilter and sewist to
appreciate and embrace the different characteristics of combining these
stunning fabric from the Artisan range designed by Kaffe Fassett for FreeSpirit. For instance the “kantha” stitched whole
cloth quilt is backed by a silky, smooth blush Ikat, allowing the
heavier-weight quilting threads to easily pull through all layers while adding
a luxurious feel and drape to the quilt.
“The idea of
combining together different fabrics is hardly new: ‘make-do’ and ‘waste not’
are patchwork ideals. In Sew Artisan! you will see that these fabrics offer an
opportunity that is well worth exploring,” said Kaffe.
The Sew
Artisan! EBook is downloadable for $14.99 (US) by visiting http://www.freespiritfabrics.com/sew-artisan A print on demand version is also available
