Sewing Basics For Every Body - Wendy Ward

From Wendy Ward, Sewing Basics For Every Body is a practical paperback guide to creating functional, well-considered wardrobe staples. With a focus on modern living, it teaches the skills needed to make clothes from both woven and knitted fabrics, with projects designed to be worn again and again and styled up or down.

Suitable for beginners and more experienced dressmakers, the book includes patterns for five basic garments and their variations, giving you 20 different designs to work through. Each project offers multiple versions, ranging from straightforward makes to more technically challenging options. A comprehensive techniques section supports your sewing as you go, covering everything from sewing a fly zip to making a traditional shirt collar, alongside core fundamentals such as seam and hem finishes. Patterns are supplied on three pull-out, full-scale, multi-sized pattern sheets, with each pattern covering 10 sizes, so you can trace the pieces you need without downloading or scaling.
