This is very useful, but there are quite a few of these already on the market, so what’s new with this one? A better description is that this is a beginner’s guide to making garments for the 21st century dressmaker. Not only does it give helpful tips for working with patterns, it also tells you how to upcycle clothes you already own or have bought from charity shops and how to make repairs. You don’t even have to buy your fabric from fabric stores.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI was instantly hooked by all this. Starting from scratch is great, but what about all the resources already in existence? Looking after our planet should come first whatever we are doing, and this is very much a book for the modern, responsible crafter. The book starts by having a look at what tools and supplies you need to purchase before embarking on your new hobby. What machine feet and needles you require, sewing box basics and choosing a machine. Learn about fabrics and different types of interfacing as well as how to choose garments in charity shops for repurposing. Measure yourself, decode pattern terminology and learn the basic skills such as cutting out, pattern positioning, what symbols mean and fabric preparation. The rest of the book contains several projects that teach you more skills as you make them from putting in elastic to pockets, closures, and appliqué. Draft your own basic pattern for a loose-fitting kimono jacket, attach a skirt to a jumper and make a sweater dress, make a skirt from a man’s shirt, and use a length of cloth for a simple wrap skirt. Mend your own jeans and make a poorly fitting blouse fit by adding some darts. This is dressmaking with the lid blown off, freed from rules and too much reliance on brand new resources. I’m not a beginner but I have a lot to learn from this book. This book is highly recommended for anybody who wants to learn dressmaking the modern way.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Rachel A Hyde * myshelf.com *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout this book 5\u003cbr\u003e About me 6\u003cbr\u003e my quick tips 7\u003cbr\u003e dressmaking essentials 8\u003cbr\u003e Tools \u0026amp; equipment 9\u003cbr\u003e Fabrics 20\u003cbr\u003e Fabric terminology 23\u003cbr\u003e Interfacing 24\u003cbr\u003e Threads 25\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDressmaking know-how 26\u003cbr\u003e Pressing vs ironing 27\u003cbr\u003e Measuring yourself 28\u003cbr\u003e Choosing a pattern 31\u003cbr\u003e Understanding pattern symbols 32\u003cbr\u003e Cutting your pattern 34\u003cbr\u003e Transferring pattern symbols 36\u003cbr\u003e Cutting fabric 38 \u003cbr\u003e Making a toile 39\u003cbr\u003e Machine stitches 40\u003cbr\u003e Special stitches 42\u003cbr\u003e Darts 43\u003cbr\u003e Seams 44\u003cbr\u003e Hems 46\u003cbr\u003e Project Kimono Jacket 48\u003cbr\u003e Bindings 50\u003cbr\u003e Zips 52\u003cbr\u003e Closures 57\u003cbr\u003e Project Tunic Sweater Dress 60\u003cbr\u003e Pockets 62\u003cbr\u003e Project Shirt Skirt 64\u003cbr\u003e  Project Old to New Joggers 66\u003cbr\u003e Shirring 70\u003cbr\u003e Sewing elastic 71\u003cbr\u003e Project Sweater Skirt 72\u003cbr\u003e Project Wrap Skirt 74\u003cbr\u003e Project Circle Skirt 76\u003cbr\u003e Project Off-the-Shoulder Top 78\u003cbr\u003e Appliqué 80\u003cbr\u003e Project Child’s Shirt Dress and Headband 82\u003cbr\u003e Project Batwing Dress 84\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMake it fit 88\u003cbr\u003e Mend it 92\u003cbr\u003e Index 96\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Search Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48066943385943,"sku":"9781782217473","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781782217473.jpg?v=1713212821"},{"product_id":"the-button-box-9780099593096","title":"The Button Box","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracing the story of women at home and in work, from the jet buttons of Victorian mourning, to the short skirts of the 1960s, taking in suffragettes, bachelor girls, little dressmakers, Biba and the hankering for vintage, this book lifts the lid on women's lives and their clothes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA charming work of social history * Bookseller *\u003cbr\u003eKnight explores her own family’s history and, in parallel, the intimate history of women in the 20th century… The politics of being a modern woman are revealed through changing fashions… In Knight’s hands, buttons – the humblest of everyday objects – become portals into the past, charting our progress along that road. -- Lucy Moore * Literary Review *\u003cbr\u003eCharming book… Knight’s brilliant notion is to use the button box she inherited from her grandmother as a way of delving into the fabric, literal and metaphorical, of the women who wore them… A patchwork of memory, anecdote and deft quotation. -- Daisy Goodwin * The Sunday Times *\u003cbr\u003eInspired by her own shimmering box of toggles, clasps and buckles, Knight takes us on an ingenious tour of domestic and social history over the last century… From this core of very personal material, Knight writes more generally of ordinary women’s lives and changing prospects over three generations, of clothes as self-expression, as defiance, as entertainment, as evidence of frugality and frivolity all rolled into one. -- Claire Harman * Guardian *\u003cbr\u003eThe drama of women’s lives from the 19th to the mid-20th century was hidden in plain sight among the brightly coloured buttons that rattled so enticingly in [Knight’s] grandmother’s \u003ci\u003eQuality Street\u003c\/i\u003e tin… Fascinating social history. -- Jane Shilling * Daily Mail *","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732323774807,"sku":"9780099593096","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780099593096.jpg?v=1719996412"},{"product_id":"mod-9780099597889","title":"MOD","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWelcome to the world of the sharp-suited faces'.

From the physical effects of age on garments to their changing cultural significance, time and fashion are inextricably linked. Every garment has its own pace and narrative, and every dress practice is rich with temporal associations: wearing' time in the form wristwatches, marking key moments in time from marriage to death, defying' time with beauty products, preserving and re-imagining time through vintage, and concepts of timeless' and classic' styles.  This ground-breaking book presents a complete rethinking of the study of global fashion history, revealing the complex nature of changing fashion when viewed through the lens of time and challenging Eurocentric approaches such as the periodization of style and the arbitrary division of western' and non-western' fashion. \u003ci\u003eFashion in Time\u003c\/i\u003e is essential r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on a lifetime of scholarship, Margaret Maynard uses time to explore the complexity of dress in a whirlwind account across global history, revealing diverse clothing practices from the adorned bodies of ancient times to 3D-printed dress styles of today. * Karen Tranberg Hansen, Northwestern University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eMargaret Maynard is a pioneer in global fashion studies and her new book, \u003ci\u003eDressed in Time,\u003c\/i\u003e creatively approaches the field with rigor and purpose.

Illuminating national and cultural contingencies specific to London as a global metropolis, it makes an important intervention by challenging the view of those wholike their historical contemporariesperceive the 19th and early 20th centuries as devoid of beauty praxis, let alone a commercial beauty culture.Contrary to this perception, \u003ci\u003eThe Business of Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e reveals that Victorian and Edwardian women and men developed a number of tacit strategies to transform their looks including the purchase of new goods and services from a heterogeneous group of urban entrepreneurs: hairdressers, barbers, perfumers, wigmakers, complexion specialists, hair-restorers, manicurists, and beauty culturists.

Costume, like fashion and dress, is now viewed as an area of dynamic social significance and not simply as passive reflector of a pre-conceived social state or practice.
