This book is easy to follow and read. Each pattern has 2-3 variation options to customize each piece. My sewing teacher introduced me to Merchant & Mills and everything that they sell is amazing! We made a sleeveless version of the Curlew pattern. It's a bias cut top that lays perfectly. We made it out of light-mid weight linen. Bias cut is so comfortable for me...and no zippers or buttons! I can't wait to make a Curlew dress variation next! Patterns Included: The Bantam (boxer-back top or dress) The Curlew (bias top/dress with many sleeve variations) The Saltmarsh (simple, long, gathered skirt with drawstring waist and side pockets) The Heron (bat-winged wrap top with shawl collar and side tie) The Haremere (oversized, drop-shouldered jacket or coat) The Strides (wide-leg trouser or shorts) ... show more

    • The designs are nice and it looks like the sewing directions are adequate ...
The designs are nice and it looks like the sewing directions are adequate but to get a working pattern you have to trace pieces that are given in pieces! For a dress, say, the top part of the sleeve is on the other side of the same piece of paper from the lower part of the sleeve (the sleeves are not pieced themselves just the pattern) the same is true of the front of the dress, to get one pattern piece you must trace it from two places and line up and tape the tracings together. I got annoyed and gave up. Perhaps I will try again, but it could have been easily avoided by them just printing each pattern piece in one entire piece. They could have super imposed pieces if saving paper was so important. In my opinion, it would have been easier for the user. If you have a lot of patience and a lot of tracing paper this may be a book for you. ... show more

    • What Goes Around...
I bought this for my wife who’s taken to it with a passion for sewing. I first ran across this book in a sewing shop and what struct me immediately was that this felt like an art book. Some people have criticized the drawings of the outfits. I love their wrinkly, almost haphazard way in which they’re depicted. It’s like the person just took them off and tossed them onto the bed, happily gotten a day’s worth of wear out of it. The patterns are not difficult to follow and as the creators said, it’s a return to sewing with passion. ... show more

    • Good patterns, but size range is Small - Medium
This book presents a base set of garments that an average sewer can use to create an office casual wardrobe. The patterns (included in an envelope attached inside the cover of the book) are plain enough that they can be used with any level of surface embellishment to create art-to-wear garments. The only problem with the patterns is the size range: American, Canadian, Australian: 4 - 14 UK: 8 - 18 I don't fit in that range, so I'll need to grade the patterns to use them. I don't know if they restricted the range so they would only need to show one pattern layout, or if they don't want their designs on fat people, but I don't like it. ... show more

    • Modern sewing that is way more fun than Vogue or Butterick
This delightful sewing book comes with a slew of patterns, all for under $20. I am more COS and Eileen Fisher than sweet ruffled print. These are very straightforward designs and pretty easy to make. Do yourself a favor and buy a roll of 18 or 24 inch tracing paper too - it will make it easier to cut your own size. Have fun! ... show more

    • beautiful, inspiring pictures on heavy paper and sewn binding ...
Lovely book, beautiful, inspiring pictures on heavy paper and sewn binding make book feel hand made. I love looking through it. The patterns and techniques in the book originally intimidated me. It is a different kind of sewing than what I have done - attention to detail versus getting it done quickly. After completing the 1st project though, I found that french seams are not hard to do, and they really are nice, especially with ravelly fabric. All the patterns are easy to find and trace on the pattern sheets, lastly, directions are illustrated and written clearly. ... show more

    • Sustainable Wardrobe Workbook
This workbook is very thorough and from a company I admire. There are 6 patterns, thoroughly outlined instructions & patterns printed on paper that follow, and most patterns have variations. Most of them work well with linen, which is one of my favorite fabrics to work with. I love the versatility and approach of this workbook and am excited to get started. ... show more

    • Frumpy patterns with beautiful photography
The patterns are easy to follow and well laid out. The instructions are easy to follow as well. What the patterns actually make leaves something to be desired. I just finished the saltmarsh skirt. It looks like a potato sack with a drawstring. I'll probably shorten it conseiderably and wear it as a slip or something to justify the effort. Most of the highly artistic photos can't even make the garments look good in breezy, moody natural environments. That means you will probably look very frumpy in them in your living room. Nothing in the book other than the Heron top (a batwing wrap) even remotely interested me and now I'll probably pass on that and use the fabric for something else. I was hopeful based on user reviews and took the plunge without really knowing what was in the book but nothing in the book really justifies the expense for me, especially considering how expensive the fabrics they reccomend are. I guess if you are looking for very basic, unfitted patterns that fit a niche aesthetic, go for it. Otherwise I'd give this a pass. ... show more
