An in-depth guide to sewing simple garments, with four full-size patterns, and all the tricks of alteration and embellishment explained so that you can make a wardrobe all your own.

Maybe you learned to sew in school and have a sewing machine, but it hasn't seen the outside of the closet since your last move. Or maybe you are completely new to the craft, with a lot of enthusiasm, but no idea how to thread your machine. No matter where you're coming from in terms of experience, this sewing workbook offers four basic patterns — two tops, a skirt, and a pair of pants — that empower you to express your personal style and make clothes that are comfortable for your body type.
