This book was fascinating and I hope I can figure out the process before I have to return it to the library! Glad you were able to find a copy to borrow as well. <br /><br />I do love the Sewing Bee, and I'm in the same boat. I wish they'd make it available somehow to those of us outside the UK who are also very interested!Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-44987135328488841432019-02-12T17:02:36.244-05:002019-02-12T17:02:36.244-05:00I love the Great British Sewing Bee.

It is such a shame there is not international opportunity to watch such an inspiring and entertaining show.<br />However, to this book. I have heard about this author. Once again, a cutural difference in sewing. I think it sounds a great book and (once again) have put a hold on it at my local library. Where would we be without our libraries? There really is a groundswell of interest in non professional sewing people making their own patterns - it is a bit like the secrets those great pattern companies used to have a hold on are being released, and it just doesn't appear to be that difficult. Getting traditional patterns to fit without alterations doesn't happen that often, so maybe it is easier to have some control and make our own from scratch? A bit scary still to think it can be done, but I think this book sounds inspiring. I am looking forward to reading it.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286531350427715397noreply@blogger.com
