I'm so excited to be part of the second book released by Sarah Gunn and Julie Starr. Earlier this year Sarah invited to be one of the contributors. I was delighted to have an opportunity to be one of a select group of fabulous sewists/designers.
The look and feel of "A Stylish Guide To Classic Sewing" sets it apart from other sewing/style related resources. It is well written and beautifully illustrated. It's a great resource to help you sew and create a wardrobe to die for.
"A Stylish Guide to Classic Sewing" examines 30 garment types that allow you to explore history, styling, sewing tips. My favorite chapter is the Classic Garment Gallery. This chapter features over 50 impeccably made garments. Each photo is labelled with the style and references the page in the book. This allows easy look up for interested style information.
Also, there is a classic pencil skirt pattern included with detailed instructions on how to make a beautifully tailored modern pencil skirt. It doesn't stop there. The resources section lists a plethora of vendors and references to help you fulfill your classic wardrobe dreams. It's a winner all the way around!
"A Stylish Guide to Classic Sewing" is available in paperback or for your Kindle. If you would like to purchase a copy, it is available on Amazon
