An accomplished fashion designer shows women who make their very own garments find out how to strengthen on store-bought sewing patterns by adjusting the clothing item’s length and other details to reflect personal taste and create a custom fit. The book’s opening chapters present an illustrated guide to the tools, equipment, and fabrics needed for making garments, whilst also serving as a miniature textbook to teach basic sewing techniques.

The book’s concluding chapters instruct on designing one’s own patterns from scratch.
