Passementerie: Handcrafting contemporary Trimmings, Fringes, Tassels and More
The first book on how to create your own, contemporary handwoven passementerie (ornamental fringe, tassels, braid, piping, and more) using widely available materials.
In this hands-on introduction to one of the rarest of textile crafts, artist and designer Elizabeth Ashdown combines her mastery of the centuries-old skills with a vibrant, contemporary aesthetic. Learn centuries-old methods and how to apply them to make your own contemporary ornamental trimmings.
Discover 11 guided projects for home and wardrobe, ranging from elegant Chanel-style jacket fringe to bold, tasselled lampshade fringe. This book demonstrates techniques that transform your existing clothing and home decor items into handcrafted masterpieces that make a bold statement.
For beginner and intermediate / advanced weavers; requires only a simple rigid heddle loom or frame loom, like those commonly sold by craft retailers. Any of the projects can also be woven on a different type of loom such as an Inkle loom and shaft loom.
Additional audiences include fashion and clothing-focus crafters, textile artists, embroiderers, knitters and spinners.
Passementerie: Handcrafting contemporary Trimmings, Fringes, Tassels and More will be published 24 April 2024.
