Sewing Outdoor Gear by Rochelle Harper
As a clothing and fashion statement, outdoor wear has become incredibly popular. Land's End, Cotton Traders and Orvis do a booming business through their catalogues, and stores like cater to the same consumer. You don't have to be a skier or mountain climber, or own a yacht, to appreciate the comfort and wearability of clothing made from fabrics like Polarfleece and Goretex. This is the first book on this specialized topic. There is very little information anywhere about the fabrics and/or sewing techniques used in outdoor wear. With the increasing availability of Polarfleece and other hi-tec fabrics, sewers will be looking for information on how to work with them. Sewers can save money by making their own outdoor garments that have more style than the offerings in catalogues and retail stores.
