Help your favorite girls develop a style all their own with this handy guide to creating endless wardrobe options. Starting with three basic pieces―a top/dress, skirt, and pants―you’ll learn how to modify simple patterns and rectangles to make twelve classic garments: four tops/dresses, four shorts/pants, and four skirts. Technique instructions teach you how to gather, create waistband casings, and insert zippers. Advice on choosing fabrics and adding embellishments is also included.
Handmade, unique, tongue-in-cheek. Stitch 15 conversation starters that are as fun to sew as they are to tie up with a bow. Designer Samarra Khaja covers the gamut from cheeky wearables (TRAWRzers!) to quirky quilts and home decor. Make a puffy quilt that looks like candy dots, or stitch a tissue box cover that looks like a vintage typewriter. Tailored to smart, talented, crafty folks of all ages, this hilarious book is just as fun to read (trivia time!) as it is chock-full of sewing projects. Bonus: Go "behind the seams" with a textile designer and learn how her ideas come to life.
