Editorial Review: Product Description: Sewing is back! Young, crafty women are discovering the fun and creativity of working with fabric, needle, and thread to create 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 complicated instructions or patterns. Author 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, wraparound, gored panel, tiered “hippie,” layered, and more. All it takes to get started is basic body measurements (no need to go out and buy an expensive pattern), a machine, great 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 making 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 easy, the designs in this book are sure to unleash the creative spirit of every budding seamstress. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Great BargainI saw this book in a bookstore and was going to purchase it, but I decided to look at Amazon.com first.

Rating: - What a cute, sweet book!!!If you want to make simple patterns and design your own skirts, this book would be a great choice! The book has stylish ideas for creating different skirts, and each can easily be personalized. This book is super cute and fun to read. Rating: - Inspirational and fun!I really liked this book as I am kind of a "do my own thing my own way" type of person. So if that is you, I think this book may appeal to you. The only thing I would change in her text is that I would add more room to the hip measurement, from 6 to 8 maybe. It just gives a lot of possibilities to work off of and I liked that. I can't buy just all the books I would like but I considered this a good purchase. It may not be that great for a person with no sewing experience at all though but you ...

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!! Rating: - Fun and FashionableI read the reviews for this book before I purchased it. I was a little taken aback by the negative reviews, but with all the positive ones, I bought it. The book arrived and I was making skirts within the week. My two daughters and I wear loads of skirts. I am a professional quilter, so I know how to sew, but making clothes is different. The book is great in giving me clear directions and great tips. The first two skirts I made were not exactly ones in the book, but slight alterations based on ... Read More
