Are dressmaking patterns essential for creating stylish and flattering clothes? No!
Can you create a range of impressive garments using just your own measurements and some simple techniques? Yes!
Popular designer and dressmaker Kimberley Hind takes you through everything you need to know to get started. Whether that's choosing the right fabrics for the look and finish you want, to accurately taking your body measurements so that your clothes fit in just the right way, Kimberley's friendly and no-nonsense attitude will get you started in no time... and with no need for dressmaking patterns!
Everything is shown visually: from seaming, hemming, shirring, adding ruffles and finishing your garments.
All 10 beginner-friendly projects are visually explained step by step: choose from skirts, trousers, tops, dresses, shorts and a jacket.
The projects are looser fitting to suit any body shape, and can be customized for your preferred style: adapt the sleeves, straps, cuffs and hem length as you want.
The projects aim for minimal waste, with advice and tips on using leftover fabric scraps to make accessories.
Being the daughter of Debbie Shore, Kimberley has grown up around sewing. She has always loved watching her mother create amazing items from scratch, and over the last few years her passion for sewing has increased rapidly. After working as a Visual Merchandiser for 12 years and following the birth of her daughter, Kimberley made sewing her full-time occupation. Now, she is running a successful online sewing shop, writing dressmaking blog posts for Minerva Crafts, creating sewing projects for The Craft Cotton Company and filming sewing video tutorials on her own YouTube Channel.
Kimberley loves to upcycle clothes particularly, transforming a once discarded piece of clothing into something new. Her collaboration with her mother, Debbie Shore, combines both of their sewing passions, as well as Kimberley's enthusiasm for refashioning and helping readers look at thrift-store clothing in a whole new light.
