Description
Take a masterclass in alterations from the team behind The Great British Sewing Bee.
From altering patterns to ready-made garments, personalise your makes to suit your style with this go-to guide. Starting with the basics, learn how to measure yourself and grade between sizes, before moving onto pattern adjustments including darts, bust, bum, back, bicep and wheelchair-friendly adjustments. Prepare and fit a toile to fit your body, with expert tips from the world of couture and costume making. Featuring a section with advice on altering clothes you already own, you'll also be able to inject a new lease of life into ready-made garments that don't fit quite right.
The Great British Sewing Bee is a BBC reality show that began airing on BBC Two on 2 April 2013. Sara Pascoe hosts the show, as 12 talented home sewers are challenged to create gorgeous garments, under the scrutiny of judges Esme Young and Patrick Grant.
