Review: Includes patterns you can sew! - I bought this to learn fitting and try to up my game but this book is amazing and will pay for itself immediately. On top of well displayed steps there's a wonderful website where I can print out a PDF and assemble skirts, bodices, dresses...in my size. If you're familiar with PDF's these will be the best ones you've ever worked with. Impossible to line up lines wrong by even a millimeter and effortless. I printed out my skirt pattern then went to the chapter on to sew it up. It's perfect. I also applied needed fitting to the pattern before cutting fabric because of the help of this book. A PDF can cost up to $15.00 and it still would not guarantee that the sellers size chart is accurate. The pattern in this book I Know has accurate size chart. I'm blown away with their web site, support and information in this book. Wish I'd gotten it years ago. What's a PDF? You click on the size/pattern you find on their website,(the book tells you how/where to measure yourself to find your size) print it out, place the pages together like laying tiles, tape and cut it out. Wonderful and cheaper than buying MFGR patterns from the big names like Simplicity . It's the perfect book for beginners or intermediates like myself. Review: Great for beginners - Perfect for a novice. Easy to follow instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #26,282 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17 in Sewing (Books) #22 in Fashion Craft #28 in Crafts & Hobbies Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 670 Reviews | ## Images ![Sew Your Own Wardrobe: More Than 80 Techniques - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+DeHe3z0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Includes patterns you can sew! *by S***C on May 22, 2024* I bought this to learn fitting and try to up my game but this book is amazing and will pay for itself immediately.

Easy to follow instructions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really nice book to outline how to follow patterns and the basics of sewing clothing *by G***I on November 30, 2024* When I was young my mom taught me how to sew - basic things. She really didn't go into teaching me how to read or interpret patterns or anything in depth like that. So while I certainly didn't lack knowledge or comfort in the basics of using a sewing machine I definitely felt blindsided when I tried to stick with a pattern for my first "big girl project" all these years later. I flipped through this book at a friends' home and decided to get a copy for myself. BOY AM I HAPPY THAT I DID. My comfort level with reading patterns and understanding the basics of a lot of sewing tools I was not super familiar with jumped exponentially. A really great book to get a good handle on the basics or a refresher for the person like myself who is struggling with pattern interpretation and assembly of pieces of a pattern for an item of clothing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sew Your Own Wardrobe: More Than 80 Techniques - The Sewing Book - Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Sewing: Step by step techniques for making clothes and home accessories (RD Consumer Reference Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/279300435-sew-your-own-wardrobe-more-than-80-techniques](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/279300435-sew-your-own-wardrobe-more-than-80-techniques) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
