"The Witch's Wardrobe guides you through the process of filling your closet with layers of witchcore fashion. Even those new to sewing will find it easy to get started. Each garment comes with tips for infusing magic into your creations. This book truly resonates with me and should be a part of every crafty witch's library."—Opal Luna, author of Fiber Magick"Not only is The Witch's Wardrobe book a total delight to read, but it is also a very much-needed resource for today's witch...This book is the answer to all my witch wardrobe requirements and I can put my own personal spin on the fabric I choose. The book includes all kinds of garments from skirts to dresses and even accessories to zhuzh up any outfit. The instructions are clearly laid out with detailed photographs, which is really helpful. I am just about to dust off the sewing machine and create myself a stunning, unique, made-to-fit-me wardrobe."—Rachel Patterson, witch, podcast host, and bestselling author of over twenty-five books"Got flounces? Raechel Henderson had me at 'Curtains make great walking skirts' (don't worry, there's a pants project, too) and kept me through the history of the petticoat and kitchen witchery tips. The patchwork skirt, ribbon skirt, and fabric flower crafts will finally use up all those odds and ends you've been keeping in the closet. So get that stack of IKEA curtain bottoms down from the shelf and start sewing!"—Linda Raedisch, author of The Secret History of Christmas Baking"Raechel Henderson has inspired me to dust off my sewing machine and give making another go. Her easy-to-follow instructions (with pictures!) and down-to-earth and genuine encouragement will remove all intimidation (and excuses) for making your own garments. There are projects in The Witch's Wardrobe for every skill level—I can't wait to try some of these patterns (fairy dress, I'm looking at you!). And don't miss the magical side info—scarves for voice magic, securing your magic with buttons, kitchen witchery, and more!"—Natalie Zaman, coauthor of the Social Media Spellbook
