NEEDLEWORK & FABRIC CRAFTS. One of the main reasons new sewers buy a machine is to start making their own clothes. However, beginners sewing books tend to include only a few basic projects, often with very little focus on making clothes. With easy-to-follow instructions, clear illustrations, and simple, downloadable sewing patterns, Skirts & Dresses for First Time Sewers fulfils a need for a practical resource of clothing projects aimed at novice sewers who want to start making their own clothes. Covering a wide range of popular classics from A-line and pencil skirts to wrap and shift dresses, each chapter begins with fashionable visual inspiration. Basic information details the key characteristics of each style, together with the most suitable fabrics to use, and creative styling tips.
