Book Reviews of Sew U: The Built by Wendy Guide to Making Your Own Wardrobe
Book Review: I wish I had read the reviews!
Summary: 4 Stars
I absolutely love this book!!! It has everything you need to get sewing and make some very nice clothes. The only reason I gave it four stars is because, for me, I won't be able to use any of the patterns since I am a plus-sized woman. I thought about it when I ordered the book, but since I didn't read the reviews I hoped that the author would have included a small section on extending patterns to fit plus sizes. Now I am going to have to wait to use the book and patterns until I lose the weight...a good goal. However, I can still use the tips and tricks and several of her creative ideas to get me started while I make "pattern-less" skirts. I am still glad that I bought the book!!!
Summary of Sew U: The Built by Wendy Guide to Making Your Own Wardrobe
Like knitting before it, sewing is being reclaimed by a new generation; one that is tired of poor quality and bored by homogenous design. Indie fashion designer Wendy Mullin, of Built by Wendy, teaches the creatively inclined and ultra-stylish how to make the perfect skirt, shirt, and pants. She gives readers everything they need to know to begin sewing and provides step-by-step instructions and patterns directly from her studio. She explains how to customize everything from the fit to the pockets so readers can create a thousand different looks using the same three basic patterns. These ideas will inspire readers to rethink and revamp their old clothes to make unique, custom fashions. For those who find themselves brimming with ideas, but unable to make everything themselves, Wendy also offers guidance on how to work with a tailor. Includes three Simplicity pattterns.Fashion Books
