A felted fabric is woven before it is felted. The author provides you with a brief history of felted cloth, discusses garment design, explains the felting technique, exhibits her very attractive work in a portfolio section which also contains flat patterns for the pieces shown -- a coat, a kimono, a mirror vest, a knit sleeve jacket, and more. She goes on to discuss the edge treatment of the fabric and surface embellishment.
