I simply can’t wait to start working with it . I would recommend this book for anyone who is not sure , but it or not. For me, it’s like having my own personal tutor at hand at all time. Beautiful images and easy to follow step by step instructions.

I am most blessed to live close enough to the teacher’s classes venue, since I was able to attend the first 7 week course since the book came in print. Excellent book would strongly recommend this book has patterns inside as well am so excited thank you As a self taught sewist, I found this book to be very helpful and I personally think it will be a great book to have to refer back to as an when needed. However, in between each lesson, the book helped me get a thorough understanding of each step, I was able to jump ahead at times and really get it!

Absolute thanks to Helen writing and publishing this beauty 😍 I was so nervous and had so many doubts I’d be able to understand any sewing term and technique - I HAD to be in a class, as a beginner. The pink dress was, all-my-own interpretation using the book, shrinking the pattern and calculating everything - to create a perfect dress for my 6 year old! I purchased this book even though i know how to sew ,i have learnt loads and since having it i have made 3 dresses and a top its so helpfull and easy to use.

The media could not be loaded. I values this book and will be using it and the block patterns so much ☺️Highly recommending it to anyone who’s determined to create their own clothes.
