For burgeoning dressmakers, the vast array of fabrics can both entice and intimidate first-time sewists. Each chapter focuses on a specific fabric type, demystifying its properties, suitability, and uses while providing instructions and pattern pieces for a collection of appealing garments. Many of the 30 projects featured were inspired by challenges from the third series of The Great British Sewing Bee, designed by Claire-Louise Hardie or created by contestants. The chapter on Cottons details this common fabric's properties and offers designs such as a sleeveless shell top, capri trousers, a summer dress, and beach shorts. Subsequent chapters cover wool and natural fibers, knits and stretch fabrics, and luxury materials like lace and sheers. With womenswear sizes ranging from 8 to 20 and menswear from S to XL, the book equips readers with essential information to start sewing while understanding their equipment and patterns. Additionally, Claire-Louise provides a comprehensive guide to fitting clothes, complemented by expert sewing tips from judges May Martin and Patrick Grant, ensuring a perfect fit and stunning results.
