"How many times have you looked at a skirt or dress and thought that it would be perfect if it were only a bit longer, or had sleeves, or was a different fabric? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could just make those perfect pieces ourselves? For many, the appeal of sewing their own clothes is huge, but many novice sewers soon learn that finding very simple clothing projects can be next to impossible. This book will change all that. With clear instructions, step-by-step illustrations, and very simple sewing patterns to download, this book is a must-have resource of clothing projects for the new sewer. Inside, readers will find: Overviews of each project, key characteristics, best fabrics, and styling tip. Use your cell phone to scan the QR codes to get complete project patterns, or use the web address for quick and easy download. Simple adaptations for each project offer a variety of looks with a minimum of fuss. Design and embellishment techniques that help make pieces truly one of a kind. More than 300 full-color images provide inspiration and advice for a range of stylish classics, from maxi and pencil skirts to shift and wrap dresses, all bearing the same difficulty rating -- super simple!"--Provided by publisher.
