Make six classic garments and create a stylish wardrobe from scratch! Designed by the popular team of Merchant & Mills (Carolyn Denham and Roderick Field), these full-size patterns—with creative variations to try—feature a neat vest with a boxer-back detail, an elegant bias-cut long-sleeved dress, a simple long gathered skirt with a drawstring waist, a batwing wrap top, an oversized drop-shoulder jacket, and classic wide-leg trousers. Just vary the fabric to suit the season, and you’ll have a closetful of year-round garments to show off. The precise step-by-step instructions and inspiring fashion photography will enable you to build your skills and sew with confidence, and this beautifully packaged book also includes an envelope to hold the patterns.
