Book Synopsis

Create and customize your own stylish capsule wardrobe - without dressmaking patterns!

Use simple techniques to sew 10 stylish, versatile and contemporary garments with Kimberley Hind (@whatkimberleymakes).

Popular designer and dressmaker Kimberley Hind takes you through everything you need to know to get started. Whether that's choosing the right fabrics for the look and finish you want, to accurately taking your body measurements so that your clothes fit in just the right way, Kimberley's friendly and no-nonsense attitude will get you started in no time... and with no need for dressmaking patterns!

• Everything you need to know is shown visually: from seaming, hemming, making a basic toile, shirring, quilting and finishing your garments.
• All 10 projects are suited to beginners and visually explained step by step: choose from skirts, trousers, tops, dresses, shorts and jackets.
• The projects can be customized to suit your body shape and preferred style: adapt the sleeves, straps, cuffs, hem length and necklines as you want.
• The projects aim for minimal waste, cleverly using fabric scraps to make matching accessories, such as headbands and hair scrunchies.
