I AM OFFERING A WONDERFUL BOOK ON CREATING FAUX CHENILE TO MAKE FABULOUS JACKETS. ONE OF MY FAVORITES. "VARIATIONS IN cHENILLE" A.SOFTCOVER IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. BY NANNETTE HOLMBERG.

From an online review.."Slashing is the process of layering cotton fabrics, machine stitching through the layers, cutting some of the layers, and washing the piece until the desired amount of fraying occurs. Inspired by this technique, Homberg has developed the process of creating faux chenille. Here she details both her successes and failures, strongly recommending the creation of a sample block before committing to a project as the combination of unrelated colors and textures will greatly affects the results. Homberg offers directions for creating unique wearable art and wall hangings, along with the basic steps of layering, stitching, and laundering. Beginner techniques with expert adventurous artistic results".
Another online review...."Forget those one-color chenille bedspreads; here is a new multilayered, multicolored technique to produce a variety of vests, jackets, pillows, and wall-hangings. Known as "slashing," the process involves sewing five layers of fabric together and then cutting through to the bottom (foundation) layer. Tips for color combinations and layering and combining different fabrics (i.e., silks, linens, and cottons, but rarely polyesters), as well as patterns, finishing tips, and diagrams, are included. Washing the produce forces edges to fluff up and fray. This effect is called "blooming," or, as Holmberg names it, faux chenille. Anyone observing the results will call them gorgeous and innovative. For crafters and quilters hungry to create new and exciting wearables, this book will satisfy".
