Shirley Adams will help you create new fabrics by combining those blocks of color. You will color coordinate thread, edging, and fabric for similarities of care as well as beauty and style. | |

Cutwork suede samples create a clutch bag. Leftover color coordinated scraps bloom a garden on a denim jacket | |

| Changing Colors | Create wardrobe combinations by weaving extra yarns into a purple handwoven jacket. | |
| Neutral Accents | Fabrics distinctive yet subtle in color lend texture and design to other fabrics. | |
