FAVOURITES: BOOKS

Dec By: duellingdesigns2 Comments

I would like to introduce a new type of post: Favourites.

My intention is to use these posts to support the monthly design challenges. If the garment for one month’s challenge features embroidery, I might include in the favourite posts a few of my favourite books or tools I used or things I wold have liked to use to do the embroidery. I think the Favourite Posts will add value to the regular posts as well as help me stretch my photography muscles.
This week’s favourite are some of my favourite books for fashion illustration, patternmaking, embroidery and fabric manipulation. If you are interested in finding out more about one of the books, click on the photo. I have also included a photo collage of all the books below in case the slider does not open on all devices.
