great for beginners

Reviewed by JoBroSew on 26th February, 2019

I bought this book when I got an overlocker, and wanted to start making clothes with jersey – It comes with five full size patterns to trace out so I thought that would be an inexpensive way to learn. The book is very comprehensive, even has a section on threading an overlocker. As a beginner I found the projects really useful for introducing me to different techniques – I just finished making the Joni Dress – so I learnt how to cut out jersey, adding clear elastic to seams, twin needle sewing for hems, overlocking seams. Also each pattern has variations and I think on the website there are more hacks. Would recommend this book
