Product Overview
Tired of fast fashion and ready to try making your own clothes? This is the ultimate beginner’s guide to dressmaking.
Packed with step-by-step instructions, this guide teaches all the essential dressmaking techniques you need to get started. It also includes instructions for six timeless garments, such as a maxi dress, skirt, jersey top, simple jacket and trousers, fishtail skirt, and shift dress. Fully graded paper patterns for each garment are provided, so you can dive right in.
Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can expand your skills with a section dedicated to more advanced techniques. Author Wendy Ward shows you how to customise your creations by adding details like pockets and collars. These elements can be incorporated into the basic patterns as your confidence grows, allowing you to create a unique and stylish capsule wardrobe.
Our standard width fabric can be cut as a Fat Quarter, measuring 50cm x 1/2 the width of the bolt. Above is an example of how your fabric will be received, depending on the quantity ordered.
We also offer a sample service, where you can order 1 single fat quarter of any standard width fabric, to have at home and compare colours. When you are finished, you can send them back to us for a refund (feel free to contact us for more information on this service).
Our fabric can be cut as a Long Quarter, measuring a minimum of 25cm x width of bolt. We will supply the fabric as a continuous length (eg; if you bought 1.25m it will be sent as one piece of fabric).
