The step-by-step instructions in "Layered, Tattered and Stitched" show readers how easy it is to create fabric-art with incredible depth and personal significance. Throughout the book, the author uses a mixture of atypical sewing techniques such as trapping found objects between layers, stitching and quilting paper and creating doors and windows in fabric along with mixed-media techniques that include transferring photos and collaging media onto fabric and more. Readers are encouraged to expand their own creative processes, using such things as poetry and symbolic objects for inspiration.
