Using quick,
easy-to-understand
techniques this book
brings the traditional
couturier's method of
creating bespoke garment
patterns into the world
of the home sewer. Unless
you are one of the
standard sizes dictated
by garment pattern
manufacturers (and very,
very few women are), you
will need to adapt a
shop-bought pattern to
make it fit you. Draping
calico on your body
following Lynne Garner's
detailed step-by-step
instructions results in a
pattern block that is
shaped to your body and
works well in fabric.
Learn how to then adapt
your basic bodice,
sleeve and skirt blocks
to create a literally
limitless number of
gorgeous tops, trousers,
skirts and dresses, all
of which fit you to
perfection. All you need
to start your own Perfect
Fit wardrobe is some
calico, pins and a
sewing buddy to help you
out (you can return the
favour so you both have
bespoke pattern blocks).

Growing numbers of
knitters are throwing
caution to the wind and
tossing their wool
creations into hot water
washing machines,
watching as hats, bags
and pillow covers shrink
away to a fraction of
their original size. The
result is a soft, cozy
felt, and it has
tremendous allure for
many knitters. Author
Maggie Pace explains all
the basics of felting -
how to choose wool, why
some wools felt better
than others, what size
needles work best, how
to shape projects, and
how to monitor every
second of the washing
machine process. At
times, felting is an
imprecise art, demanding
inventiveness,
creativity and moxie from
the knitter. Pace is

way, offering her
insights and experience

the magic of felting.
