Synopsis

Change the clothes you have into the clothes you want-old clothes into "new" clothes, plain clothes into fancy clothes, style-less clothes into the latest look, and tight and loose clothes into a perfect fit! GLADRAGS has a spectacular "Improvement Plan" for every item in your wardrobe-sweaters, blouses, pants, skirts, jerseys and accessories. Based on a revolutionary new approach to creative home sewing, suited to beginners as well as advanced sewers this exciting new book shows how to analyze fit and design problems for any item of clothing, design new necklines, sleeve lengths and shapes, add your own decorative touches and . . . presto! Turn out a totally new, made-to-order, guaranteed-to-please garment. All the sewing and craft techniques for every transformation are explained in detail, and charming, vividly clear line drawings illustrate every step of the way. GLADRAGS is for women who like new clothes but who are feeling the squeeze of inflation. It is for mothers who would like to perk up hand-me-downs before they hand them down. It is for all sewers and craftswomen who like to wear beautiful, one-of-a-kind clothes.
