Synopsis

Designed for beginners, this guide demonstrates how to sew contemporary, versatile garments using your own measurements and straightforward techniques, rather than relying on commercial patterns. Kimberley Hind explains the essentials, from selecting fabrics for the finish you want to taking accurate body measurements so clothes fit as intended.

Techniques are taught visually, including seaming, hemming, shirring, adding ruffles and finishing. Ten step-by-step projects cover skirts, trousers, tops, dresses, shorts and a jacket, with looser-fitting shapes intended to suit a range of body types. Customisation is encouraged, with options to adjust details such as sleeves, straps, cuffs and hem length, alongside advice on minimising waste and using leftover fabric scraps to make accessories.
