The Fold Line Book Club: It Starts with a Square Book

Our Book Club is back for August! Each month, we will be bringing you an exciting new sewing or sewing-related book to enjoy.

This month, we have the new release from indie designer Cris Wood. It Starts with a Square presents 17 wearable projects made entirely from basic squares and rectangles – no pre-sized pattern pieces or special notions needed. The patterns are beginner-friendly, low-waste, size-unlimited (based on your measurements), and include clear step-by-step instructions.

If you like to flick through a book before you commit, Kate will take you on a virtual tour of what's inside in this video! 

 

Inside, you'll find:

  • Styles you'll make again and again: 17 size-unlimited garments, including tops, skirts, and dresses, plus variations
  • Beginner-friendly support: a glossary of sewing terms and beginner FAQs
  • Inspired ideas for confident sewists: hacks for mixing and matching pattern components
  • Make-it-your-own customisations: tips on customising garments for fit and function
  • Inclusive visuals: over 200 detailed illustrations and photos, including every project modelled on different body types.

 

Designer Cris Wood presents 17 wearable projects made entirely from basic squares and rectangles – no pre-sized pattern pieces or special notions needed. 

 

With its innovative size-inclusive, low-waste method and clear step-by-step instructions, It Starts with a Square is your must-have guide to sewing garments you'll love!

 


With Cris's guidance, you'll learn to measure your body and draw each pattern piece directly onto fabric, creating custom-fit clothing that's both stylish and waste-conscious. With no zippers, no buttons, and only straight seams, this book offers the perfect on-ramp for new sewists.
