Reseña del editor:

Don’t let old-fashioned patterns hem you in! You’ll be amazed by what you can sew with no patterns at all. Fun fabrics that inspire you, a basic sewing machine, an adventurous spirit are all you need to get started. Create a new wardrobe that reminds you just how much fun sewing can be!

It is possible to make all of the skirts in this book with a few basic sewing skills. Even if you have sewn your entire life, you can still find fun and inspiration in these patternless skirts and stylish embellishments. While none of the skirts are difficult to make, they have been arranged from easiest to easy, with the easiest skirts at the beginning of each chapter. All 16 designs can be created from scratch in a few hours so no matter how hectic your life is you’ll be sure to find time to sew a simple, fun skirt that is, most importantly, stress free.

You will learn the four most important words: selvage, grainline, bias and nap and what these mean. You will then be shown how to create a wide variety of skirts from the classic A-line to layered skirts, wraparounds to easy elegance.
