5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for beginners 15 Sep 2012

By F. Pullen TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:Hardcover

This book helps you to get the most from your wardrobe, by customising and altering your clothes, making accessories and finally making some of your own garments. It is ideal for beginners, even absolute beginners who have never sewn before, as it covers all the basics, step by step and with accompanying photos for most stages too.

Each chapter comes with extra advice on topics such as choosing fabrics, buying vintage, measuring yourself etc. The difficulty progresses as you go through the book, starting with very simple things like sewing on a button and finishing with making skirts and a bag.

This book is perfect for someone new to sewing, or someone with basic sewing skills wanting to revamp their wardrobe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very inspiring tips and projects 22 Sep 2012

By Pilar

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I got this book a couple of days ago and I absolutely love it. I already have a couple of projects in the way, and I'm finding it very inspiring. I attended some classes at the Sew over it cafe in London and were really really good and the book is keeping the high standards. Really worth getting it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book, just makes you want to sew, love it! 5 Nov 2012

By CATRIONA DRYSDALE

Format:Hardcover

Bought this book and started reading it on the tube journey home and by the end of my journey there were 3 beginners projects I just couldn't wait to get back to my flat to get started on.
It provides:
- a very easy step by step guide, including how to thread a machine (which was a much needed reminder for me!)
- beautiful pictures showing you what to do at each stage
- unique ideas for customising tired old outfits to make them into 'one of a kind' pieces.

My favourite pieces I've made from the book are: customised a plain black dress with buttons on the shoulders and waist to give it a military style and sewing beautiful beads around the neckline of an old boring work top -I've had so many compliments on this top! Also great book for a Christmas pressie as looks fab on the coffee table too!
