The Back of the Book If you think dress-making is stress-making then this is th book for you. Eithne Farry never grew up enough to grow out of playing with the contents of her mum's sewing book (although she pretty much failed domestic science by stitching an apron to her school skirt). She has made her own clothes since she was a teenager, pulling together dresses, skirts, coats and capes from silk, satin and summer sunshine cotton. But she's also applied hr fashion DIY skills to furniture fabric, tent canvas and even an old caravan curtain, using the general principle that half the fun is in putting it all together, and laughing if it all goes a bit lopsided. Yeah! I Made It Myself is the perfect antidote to the scary world of dress-making manuals. Using the simplest patterns, helpful hints, quick and clever customisations - and allowing for the occasional mishap, because 'It doesn't matter if it isn't absolutely flawless, imperfection's more interesting' - Eithne will inspire you to whip up your wardrobe, pull together some pompoms, rustle up a rosette and bias-bind a beach bag. For anyone who loves the idea of creating their own clothes but is unsure of where or how to begin, this inspirational, fun and easy-to-follow book is the perfect accessory. * * * If interested please PM laura0141 stating location and shipping preference.
