I just want to make everything in this fabulous book. Only had a go at one so far, and the instructions are very easy to follow, even for a beginner sewer (?) like me. Big tick of approval from me!!!

A great book for a beginner to start creating their own clothes simple patterns which can be adapted. Patterns easy to trace and follow. Book layout is great to follow each chapter is broken into seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Only thing missing is a basic pant pattern which would have completed the bool. Photos and images make it easy to follow pattern making.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to create and sew for themselves.
