Just vary the fabric to suit the season, and you’ll have a closetful of year-round garments to show off. The precise step-by-step instructions and inspiring fashion photography will enable you to build your skills and sew with confidence, and this beautifully packaged book also includes an envelope to hold the patterns.

"It is a beautiful and inspirational book" according to Amazon Customer. Haven't tried the patterns yet, but it is a beautiful and inspirational book. Beautiful photographs, a capsule wardrobe I truly want to try, along with a strong dose of inspiration. One note, the book does not have step by step instructions so you should have the basis down before starting it.. Good patterns, but size range is Small - Medium Monster Alice This book presents a base set of garments that an average sewer can use to create an office casual wardrobe. The patterns (included in an envelope attached inside the cover of the book) are plain enough that they can be used with any level of surface embellishment to create art-to-wear garments.The only problem with the patterns is the size range:American, Canadian, Australian: 4 - 14UK: 8. Gorgeous book & patterns!! Book, photos, instructions and patterns. Haven't seen any yet - just happy to have this as part of my sewing stash. Clearly made with care and attention to overall production, as well as detail.
