Easy Techniques and 8 Fun Projects

Julia Hincks

Description

This fully illustrated, explain-all guide to dressmaking contains all the necessary techniques you need – perfect for complete beginners or those looking for fresh ideas.

Julia Hincks starts with the complete basics, covering everything you need to get going: discover the essential tools and materials, how to set up your machine, how to read a sewing pattern, make seams, understitch and sew different pockets. Clear step-by-step photographs and easy-to-follow instructions make it accessible for all, whether you are creating your first garments or revisiting the basics.

The 6 projects (shorts or trousers, simple skirt, skirt with pockets, vest, dress, robe) are carefully chosen by Julia to teach you new skills each time, so that you can build up your confidence through practice. Each of the stunning projects will teach you new techniques and terminology, and will gradually develop your skills as you work through the book. Full-size, full-colour pull-out patterns are included, graded in 7 sizes from XS to XXXL.
