Synopsis
Do you dream of making your own clothes but are either new to dressmaking or struggle to follow commercially available patterns? If so, then this book provides you with everything you need to start sewing--complete with 6 full size pull-out patterns!
The detailed instructions and step by step photography show you how to use the full-scale multi-sized patterns to create basic shapes but also they also include modular elements showing how to adapt and add items to the garments to enable you to achieve a wider range of styles and increase your skill level, e.g. changing the collar, adding in a pocket.
The 6 multi-sized paper patterns include a shift dress and maxi skirt, simple jacket, fishtail skirt, jersey top and trousers enabling you to create your own mix & match capsule wardrobe.
A complete resource of techniques and instruction for designing and making your own unique wardrobe!
Written by a fashion industry professional and qualified teacher who has been teaching people to sew for 7 years, you will be guided through each project step-by-step and be making your own new wardrobe of perfectly fitting clothes in no time.
NOTE: The patterns are printed full-scale in 5 sizes which cover the following range: bust 84-101cm (33-40"), waist 68-85cm (27-33.5"), hips 92-109cm (36-43"). Three of the patterns are for stretch fabrics so aren't very fitted, the other three patterns are for woven fabrics and two of them are fairly fitted.
