  • A book revelation

    As a complete beginner, I attempted one of the easier garments. The instructions were excellent and easy to follow. So with patience I achieved a wearable garment which has been liked by others. For someone who always knew they couldn't sew, this was a miracle!

  • A good buy

    This book gives a clear and concise understanding of sewing stretch materials. It is the kind of book which you can easily dip into as you work with your pattern. I was also delighted with the selection of patterns which were included in a pocket at the end of the book, and am looking forward to making one or two.

I’ve already made the hoody. Trust me, that’s not something I couldn’t have attempted before buying this book. Excellent price and worth every penny!
