Like knitting before it, sewing is being reclaimed by a new generation; one that is bored by poor quality and homogenous design. Downtown fashion designer Wendy Mullin of 'Built by Wendy' will teach the creatively-inclined and ultra-stylish how to make the perfect skirt, shirt and trousers. She gives readers everything they need to know to begin sewing and provides step-by-step instructions and patterns directly from her own studio. She'll explain how to customise everything from the fit to the pockets so readers can create a thousand different looks using the same 3 patterns. These ideas will inspire readers to rethink and revamp all their old clothes to make unique, custom fashions. For those who find themselves brimming with ideas, but unable to make everything themselves, Wendy also offers guidance on how to work with a tailor.

I am making the transition from commercial patterns to my own drafted ones so it is nice to be able look up the order of sewing a piece of clothing. I have recommended to my sewing list as well. Rating - fantastic! What an awesome book! She covers the basics of sewing and sewing machines, what to look for in fabrics, what kinds of tools you need in your sewing room (and which ones you can do without) and provides 3 patterns. Then she shows you how to alter the patterns to sew different looks. I loved it, have it always nearby and have sewn several garments with her patterns. The fit is incredible - really great patterns. I started out as a beginner, and am now feeling more and more comfortable. If you're tired of frumpy patterns ... Read More Rating - super sewing! this book is awesome for beginners; i'm so excited. you do have to use your head a bit if you've never used a sewing maching, i'd imagine. but if you have, have at it! these patterns are sassy and simple to follow Rating - Great investment! I've sewn in the past, but was basically self taught, and not very good. This is well written and explains just what I was looking for explanations on, down to fabrics and why to pick them over others. I'd say this is a great book for idiots with some experience. see more reviews See all books by author Wendy Mullin, Eviana Hartman
