Does even the title ‘dressmaking’ scare you? As an artist and practitioner in the textiles field, it still has that affect on me. It seems unapproachable, too mathematical a skill to teach my messy artistic brain. Yet within this Search Press title, Helen the author pieces together all the information we need to know and filters out what we don’t.
I am a rebel at heart, I do not like any prescribed way of working, so Helen’s way of working really touches me and inspires me, as she allows for self discretion and the idea of the ‘option’. No matter who we are, no matter what shape or size we are, it is all about the personalised look.
Care to add a Peter Pan collar? Or how about a pocket where there is no pocket? The “foreign language” of sewing and dressmaking is taken apart and made accessible. Nothing is left to the unsaid, with stunning images af all finished products, we are sated by wording and visual fuel.
This book will build confidence within, so that you can begin your own pattern way for yourselves.
