Il n’y a pas tant de livres que ça sur le marché traitant de l’impression textile, et encore moins parlant des vêtements. Le livre est divisé en deux parties, la première sur la méthode d’impression au tampon gravé. Jen Hewett donne tous les conseils pour bien commencer dans la gravure. La seconde partie du livre contient des patrons et les instructions pour réaliser ces patrons, du simple foulard à la robe en passant par le tablier. Les instructions pour la couture sont claires, quoi que non illustrées et les modèles assez simples à coudre. Il est dommage que l’éventail de tailles soit aussi réduit.Ce livre est particulièrement beau, les photos et la mise en page sont vraiment magnifiques. C’est une bonne introduction au monde du design textile pour celles qui aiment réaliser leurs vêtements elles-mêmes.

Delighted with this book. Very well written with a huge amount of information. I especially love the fact that there are proper paper patterns included and a large amount of templates to copy to carve your own blocks. The patterns are simple and appear easy to make, and I can’t wait to try my first one.

Este libro está súper lindo. Explica el proceso completo de block printing e incluye, además, diseños y patrones para hacer algunas prendas. Apenas estoy haciendo mis primeros intentos, pero ya tengo varias ideas para seguir experimentando y creando.

Jens amazing talent and creativity is at my fingertips! I have never block printed anything before but I have no doubt I’ll be able to do it now w confidence. I’ve watched Jens work on Instagram for a while & love her unique style; it’s so cheerful & pretty but also strong and lively!Seems like the book would be great for beginners or even seasoned artists who want to try a modern approach to printing on fabric using these fun carved and painted blocks. So many different crafts are able to be utilized from beginning to end on the projects: from designing and carving the blocks, to spacing out and placing the carved designs onto the fabric into a pattern, to sewing a custom garment with the finished fabric, and everything in between! She’s even included patterns to make her garments if u want to.Another reason I like the book is whether I just want a fun day of drawing, carving, or printing or if i want to spend a whole weekend on a project from start to finish in a deep dive within this engaging array of crafts, I’m covered. And the book itself is printed and laid out so beautifully, like a guidebook straight thru jens creative process. Im sure it will be among the most useful crafting books I’ve purchased.
