LITTLE GIRLS BIG STYLE
AUTHOR: Mary Abreu
This is my first book of patterns. I chose this because of the simple designs for beginners like me ;) I love the fact that it works mostly with cotton fabric (as I find it the best fabric to work with). It comes with patterns which I feel is really easy to follow and cut. And also comes with sizes from sizes 2 to 6. My definite favourite is the peasant top ;) Hint: I didn't master sewing sleeves then.
Here's a little peek at the contents.
With the patterns in this book, I believe you can actually make a wardrobe of clothes for your girl. The book has patterns and step-by-step instructions to make:
- Basic Bodice,
- Peasant Top/Dress,
- Pants and
- Skirts
And for each category, there are at least 5 variations of the pattern. Mostly has ruffles for that pretty and cute look for the adorable girl.
Before going into the sewing bit though, there are some few pages of basics like 'Choosing Fabric', 'Embellishments', 'Tools' and 'Techniques'. I would definitely recommend this book to those beginners in sewing. But for the more advanced, I guess you might want to try something more challenging.
From this book, I learnt:
- How to make gathers
- Shirring
- Making a Peasant top
