Product Description
Sewing is back! Young, crafty women are learning the fun and creativity of effective with fabric, needle, and thread to make simple, colorful skirts, suitable for showing off as wearable art. Sew What! Skirts assumes no prior sewing experience (and no home ec. class or mother with sewing skills!), and doesn’t get bogged down with overly intricate instructions or patterns.
Leader Francesca DenHartog, a fabric fanatic and sewing instructor, has stripped skirts down to the basics: 15 styles, ranging from an A-line to a circle, twirl, glow panel, tiered “hippie,” layered, and more. All it takes to get ongoing is basic body measurements (no need to go out and buy an expensive pattern), a machine, fantastic fabric, fun embellishments, and a few sewing fundamentals.
With a creative can-do attitude, playful photographs, and super-simple step-by-step instructions, Sew What! Skirts will connect a whole new generation with the craft of building clothing that expresses your own unique look and personality. It’s all about the fabric, as DenHartog demonstrates with the colorful array of patterns and motifs featured throughout.
Whimsical, colorful, and simple, the designs in this book are sure to unleash the creative spirit of every budding seamstress.
I received the product in very excellent condition as advertised. I know that dealers alot themselves a generous amount of time, and the book came within that time period (at the end of nearly 4 weeks). It just seems in this day and age that it would have been shipped a small quicker. Could be the fault of the USPS, but still…..

I am very disappointed with the pictures, the style of the skirts and the all-purpose information. Felt like the book was from the 1950’sSew What! Skirts: 16 Simple Styles You Can Make with Fabulous Fabrics

When “Sew What! Skirts” arrived in the mail I assumed that I must have ordered the incorrect book by mistake–this book appears to be at least 5 years ancient because the styles open are so out of date. But guess what, I had ordered the right book, published in 2006.
I know that the concept behind the book is to “make your own style” but the skirts open are so ancient-school dorky that it leaves me completely uninspired…If you are interested in looking fashionable and not like an ancient school-marm, stay away from this one. Try Wendy Mullin’s “Sew U” as a replacement for.

Lovely thoughts, clear instructions. Spiral bound is awesome so you can place it open as you sew. Loved this book because it helped me work out how to draft a pattern JUST RIGHT for my body. If you want to be able to make yourself a variety of skirts – this book is perfect for you!!
