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!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Buy it if you avoid sewing with stretch fabric!!
This was highly recommended by a friend. If you’ve never sewn with stretch fabric before this is the book you need! Such clear instructions with photos, top tips and patterns. 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!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
