More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
It is an art to take a flat piece of material and make it into a convex shape to fit the body. This book is a guide to help all age groups learn to sew and understand step by step instructions. If the samples are sewn in the order they are presented in the book and practiced until they are fully understood, by the time the reader has worked through the book they should be able to make the garments shown in the photographs. The instructions are straightforward with easy steps to draft the patterns. The first part of the book is a real 'what you need' and 'how to do it'. It covers basic requirements for all beginning sewers and for anyone needing revision in their basic sewing techniques. The second part of the book contains patterns which the reader should be able to complete after following the sewing instructions of the first part. Colour photographs of the completed garments accompany each pattern. All patterns are provided to scale.

Format:Paperback
This book would be good for someone who knows a little about sewing, but for the absolute beginner like me, she lost me in the first basic pages. Could have done with photographs instead of confusing diagrams, and all the patterns are mainly for children.
Listmania!
