Solid information
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I read this book and Nancy Cornwell's "Adventures with Polarfleece" simultaneously. Much of the content overlaps, but I felt that this book had more detailed information on construction techniques for fleece used in commercial ready-to-wear garments, and things to look out for. My goal is to make functional outdoor clothing and not fashion oriented garments or baby buntings.. The Cornwell book seemed a little too oriented toward the fashion side.
An excellent book by someone who has a designer's approach.

This book gives good basic information about fleece, its content, the manufacturers, the history of fleece and sewing tips. But what sets this book apart is the way in which Rochelle uses fleece - she uses it the way a designer would use fine wool - she does not limit it to the standard fleece jackets, blankets, and accessories. Using very nice photographs of real clients, Rochelle inspires the modern sewer to try something new with this marvellous fabric - sculpture it, add nylon accents to it artistically, trim it, use it in garments that are functional yet also extremely fashionable. A must-have book for the fleece sewer.
great new ideas

I really liked the details outlined in the book. If you are looking to do some creative, individualized garments, there are some fun ideas in the book. The garments in this book include the usual jackets you expect from polarfleece, but also go beyond that into the realm of everyday wear -- dresses, skirts, hats. Very fun stuff!
