Following on from Stylish Dress Book: Clothing for Everyday Wear and Stylish Dress Book: Simple Smocks, Dresses and Tops, Yoshiko Tsukiori is back with her newest release.
Girly Style Wardrobe (Laurence King Publishing) is a delightful book for beginners and experienced sewists alike. Comprising 28 comprehensive instructions for staple wardrobe pieces for girls aged approximately 3 – 10-years-old, it includes everything from skirts, shirts, dresses and trousers, as well as accessories you can make to match.
We couldn’t get enough of this book. Well its clear layout and explanatory instructions and full-scale paper patterns, we couldn’t wait to try out the projects within it. The patterns were unfussy, requiring minimal sewing know-how and using basic techniques, yet the clothes they produce are both pretty and practical.
The combination of simple style, ease of use and adaptable designs makes this book a useful, all-in-one reference for a complete wardrobe that you can make, then re-make with a twist, time and time again.
