The Art of Manipulating Fabric

This volume demonstrates the techniques for the three-dimensional manipulation of fabric. It categorizes the techniques showing how they are related, giving examples of both modern and traditional variations. The techniques show how to reconstruct a flat piece of cloth using only a threaded needle.

Those who knit, crochet, or embroider have long had sources to which to turn for in-depth instructions on specific stitches and stitch combinations. Now there is such a reference for the sewer–an encyclopedic approach to gathering, shirring, ruffling, tucking, pleating, and quilting and their myriad variations. Filled with hundreds of diagrams and crisp black-and-white photos, this volume explains in detail how to achieve a tremendous range of three-dimensional fabric effects. This is not a book of particular projects; this is a book of instruction and inspiration for anyone who has ever wielded needle and thread. –Amy Handy

Amazing. I was so impressed.
I guess Japanese in Hawaii had closer ties with us(Japanese in Japan).

Many of Japanese don’t know "History of Japanese immigrants" or "History of Japanese?American" even in Japanese historians, sometimes.

What can I do?
Did our(Japanese and Japanese Americans in Hawaii) cultural connection "PAU" already?

I always struggle with this issue.
