DIY Couture Einfach nähen ohne Schnittmuster

This innovative and unusual sewing book introduces fashion-loving creatives and those who aspire to be one to helpful sewing techniques in a simple, step-by-step manner. Ten stylish, simple garments form the foundation for eight cool collections. The twist: Simple illustrations show how to use your favorite clothing as a pattern for new designs! Complicated patterns can be easily set aside: Jeans serve as the perfect fit for a new skirt, and an XXL shirt becomes the template for a new dress. Many variations of the basics allow for nearly unlimited room for personal ideas and creativity; photos of the various collections inspire new creations. The highlight: Favorite dresses serve as patterns, with easy-to-understand illustrations and practical step-by-step instructions. Rosie Martin heads the fashion label DIY Couture. She designed and produced costumes for music videos, worked as a costume designer for Kylie Minogue's dance troupe, and taught sewing classes for homeless women in London.
