Cotton Friend Sewing: Easy to Make Clothes to Sew and Wear Quickly: 43 Easy to Sew and Wear Clothes

Inspiring array of patterns, that are economical in time and cost.

Some lovely patterns suitable for a wide range of ages. Must stress that the sizes available are around a UK size 10-14 or maybe 16.

First things first. 1.You have to trace off the relevant pieces for the items you want to make. 2. Although most items are really loose fitting, i think some would have to be adjusted for larger than a 14/16. However, the designs are fabulous and the instructions clear and well pictured and explained. The clothes are really nicely detailwd and the accessories are also worth looking at. I found this book really inspirational and I am looking forward to making something from it.

Love the book and great patterns - will be endlessly useful

Like this style of pattern. Haven’t made any as yet but they look good.

Excellent item with loads of good ideas. Just need the time to be able to start making some of the garments. Interesting ideas

A good collection of easy practical sewing projects. I would say particularly so if you are young and looking for a first sew set of garments that are interchangeable.

Although a nice book of patterns, it didn’t match the description, and the pattern sizes were very small- the largest size approximately UK size 12. No good to me!

Great book with very practical designs. Makes a good capsule wardrobe.

Wieder mal ein super Buch von Yuko Katayama. Leider ist es nur in englischer Sprache zu kaufen. Es lässt sich aber leicht mit einem Handy oder Tablett per Sprachübersetzung mit der Kamera übersetzen und dann kann man fast alles in deutscher Sprache nachlesen. Siehe Bild als Beispiele. Die Übersetzungsapp gibt es auf jedem Handy egal ob Apple oder Android, einfach starten, auf Kamera umstellen und über den die Seite halten. Übersetzte Seiten kann man dann speichern. Wie bei Yuko Katayama üblich sind die Modelle meist auf einige Grundschnitte bezogen, die jeweils leicht abgewandelt werden. Alles ist per Bilder und Text sehr verständlich erklärt. Bei den Größen die eigenen Maße beachten, dann erst die Größe aus dem Buch wählen. Die angegebenen Größen sind auf Asiaten ausgelegt, die ja bekanntlich etwas kleiner sind als Europäer. Hat man seine Größe gefunden einfach loslegen.

Tracking for the book is a little difficult as little info was provided and it took slightly longer than the rest of the books I ordered thru Amazon. But the book is worth the wsit

I really wanted to like this book but the styles are very bulky/square/boxy that are not flattering to most bodies. Unfortunately, I think this is tailored toward straight and skinny body types. I also found the patterns quite basic so may be better for beginners. None of the designs are particularly inspiring so please look up the styles before you make this purchase.

Folhas de moldes fáceis de interpretar, boas instruções, peças muito interessantes e versáteis para costurar.
