More about this item

• Over Draping: Perfect for complicated designs like a waterfall frill or a ruched panel, where measuring or tracing would be impossible. • Combining Techniques: Using a combination of methods to get the best results for your specific garment. • Adapting Designs: How to adapt your cloned patterns to create new and exciting pieces for your wardrobe. All of the cloning methods are explained in the Cloning School section, with step-by-step instructions and photography so you can follow along. Each technique is illustrated using an example garment so you can see how it works in practice. From there, the Design School section shows you how to apply these techniques and skills to specific garments - a pair of trousers, a simple dress, a gathered skirt, a shirt and a camisole top. Author Claire-Louise Hardy, former Sewing Producer on The Great British Sewing Bee, also gives her expert advice on choosing fabrics and which tools to use for the best results. Helpful videos, accessed via QR codes within the book, offer additional support and guidance. Dimensions: 8.3in x 10.7in. Author: Hardie, Claire-Louise.
