The Act of Sewing

Whether you're an experienced sewist who hasn't used a machine in a while, or a beginner with a lot of enthusiasm, this sewing workbook has you covered.

Offering four basic patterns - two tops, a skirt, and a pair of pants - and explaining the fundamental concepts of sewing and construction, designer Sonya Philip empowers you to express your personal style and create comfortable clothes for your body type. Along with mixing and matching patterns to create unique garments and making structural adjustments to fit your body, the book also provides a range of alteration and other options, from sleeves and pockets to hems and more. With a focus on inclusivity, each pattern comes in sizes XS to 5X. Sew comfortable clothes that fit your body and be you!
