My new book is finally here available in bookstores including Barnes and Noble and on Amazon. My goal with this book stemmed from the same goal I have for all my work which is to offer sewers a good value for their money. It's why I love designing quilting fabric which is affordable compared to other fabrics and is also so very versatile as it can be used for so many things.
For this book I wanted to not simply offer sewers patterns and instructions for 5 or so dresses that I designed but instead give sewers a way to actually design their own dresses. The interchangeable bodice and skirt patterns in the book make that possible. 219 unique dresses can be made using the patterns and templates included in the book. Hundreds more can be made with the instructions for easy pattern design techniques. The book also includes a guide to fitting and altering the patterns to fit your figure.
I hope you like it :)

Do you have any idea on the Ebook mechanics for the patterns? Is the publisher hosting .pdfs? Ebooks are just so much kinder to my myopic eyes and smallish work space!
