How It's Going

My wife's book, The Act of Sewing launches this week. Work started a long time ago, with finished manuscript going to the publisher before this covid-19 thing appeared.

This book is for you if you are looking for beginning sewing patterns and want to learn how to adapt patterns to suit your own tastes. Both cosmetic variations and adjusting the fit are covered.

(NB: The patterns are aimed at women's body shapes, but could be adjusted.)
