It covers the essential sewing kit you need to get started, walks you through your sewing machine and provides instructions for making patterns based of clothing you already own - making this adaptable, size inclusive and customisable. Some patterns are also included at the back, making it accessible for beginners while still inspiring for more experienced makers.The 14 patterns range from charming accessories to standout wardrobe staples, with several designs including variations. You'll also find thoughtful tips on sourcing recycled and upcycled fabrics, encouraging a more sustainable and creative approach to sewing.This is both a practical introduction to the craft and a source of Scandinavian cottagecore inspiration - modern, playful, and made to be worn.
