Synopsis

Structured as a full introduction to sewing, the book begins with guidance on assembling a sewing kit, choosing suitable fabrics and working with paper patterns. It then moves into a course of 12 workshops, progressing from foundational hand-sewing methods to more advanced dressmaking skills.

Each workshop ends with a step-by-step project to reinforce what has been learned, with makes ranging from hand-embroidered cushions and a lined throw to a shirred sundress and an organdie pleated skirt. Along the way, it covers techniques including embroidery, patchwork, quilting, dressmaking and curtain-making, with tips and shortcuts included throughout.
