No Patterns Needed: DIY Couture from Simple Shapes

If like me you have basic knowledge of sewing but struggle with the complexity of patterns this book is amazing. Applying simple how to cut a pattern using a square, rectangle, triangle and circle . The book contains lots of options to sew and can easily be used to aid your own designs and imagination. The sky's your limit. I love this book, very clever. Good starting point in building confidence. Simple, clever and easy to follow. The clever maths box on how to get the right measurements and amount of fabric needed for each sewing design really helps. You can adjust any design to your tastes it's a never ending book of ideas really. I have read the whole book I normally skip through pages but this one I read everything as it was so easy to understand. Rosie Martin you are a clever person thank you for writing this book.

Great way to sew without patterns. Some of the items don't seem that flattering and some smiling models wouldnt hurt. But i do like how it uses real bodies to model, and gives photos of variations of each design.

I haven’t use it any one of the patterns here.. seems not to stylish and not on trend right now.. Sorry the patterns don’t inspire me.. but easy to read though..

Wonderful book thanks

An interesting book with good ideas, nice that images are not all skinny girls! Some of the things are simple but others more complex so you need to build skill and confidence.
