Sewing love : handmade clothes for any body

Ishida, Sanae (author.). Insixiengmay, Manuela, (photographer.). Johnson, Amy (Editor), (photographer.). Grunig, Rachel, (consultant.).

Summary: "Draft patterns and sew clothes that fit your unique body! In this garment-making primer, sewing is an act of radical kindness and self-care. Learning to sew for yourself enables you to make exactly the kinds of clothes you want, and empowers you to solve the fit issues that come with buying commercial clothing designed to fit one "ideal" body type. Sanae Ishida, author of the award-winning Sewing Happiness, guides you through the process with her inspiring personal story and gentle instruction in the simple art of pattern-making and garment sewing. Create a complete capsule wardrobe of tops, bottoms, dresses, tunics, and outerwear. Each of the 15 projects (including variations) is designed to look good on a wide variety of body types--they're fashionable yet timeless, and let you move with ease. Every pattern is self-drafted (no printed pattern sheets here--you will learn to draft and customize basic shapes to your own body measurements for a comfortable fit). Patternmaking has never been easier than in this intuitive, fully illustrated book." -- Amazon.com.
