A full review with my 'make' from the book can be found at Postcard Reviews tracyshephard.wordpress.com
Before I even read the blurb for this book, I thought, this book is fun.
The Skirt Emporium is full of bright glossy pictures of all the good things you can make. Madame ZsaZsa points us sewists in the right direction to make 25 skirts that can be for adults AND their offspring.
With tips on fabric, cotton, tools and an in depth 'how to', this delightful book is an encyclopedia for beginners and the more experienced among us.
This is a wonderful book, which obviously a lot of work has gone into, and it shows. I particularly liked the different options that Madame ZsaZsa gives, which means that the skirt patterns can be adapted to whatever and however else I want to do.
This is a fabulous book. The instructions were easy to follow. I think a knowledge of sewing is useful but I do think that inexperienced sewists will love this book.
Although I don't know what the 'fit' is like, (I do not have a small child to test it on), I do have a wearable garment.
It was fun to make and I may make one just for me :)
