Passementerie
Handcrafting Contemporary Trimmings, Fringes, Tassels, and More
by Elizabeth Ashdown
The first book on how to create 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 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 contemporary ornamental trimmings.
• 11 guided projects for home and wardrobe, from Chanel-style jacket fringe to braided edging for a window blind
• For beginner and intermediate weavers; requires only a simple frame loom, like those commonly sold by craft retailers
• Additional audiences include fashion/clothing-focus crafters, textile artists, embroiderers, and knitters
