Even beginners who have in hands just few fancy pens, a measuring tape, and a small pile of left-over fabrics, can begin their creativities with confidence. *** The book is available in three different formats; e-book (ASIN: B09BBQ7PD6), black & white interior paperback (ASIN: B09BGM15YP), and color printed interior paperback (ASIN: B09BMLLSWB) *** This book is not only good for home hobby sewers or amateur designers, but also middle school, high school, to college students who strongly have interest in sewing and fashion design, or are in the midst of finding ideas for their independent study. Another level up for your new sewing project to pursue can begin with hats, which is much smaller in scale compared to clothing, using the left-over fabrics you already have. Logics and design examples provided inside, in different angles, will encourage creativities, develop problem solving skills, and grow confidence through pattern drafting and sewing. The book is also a good resource that integrates simple mathematics into the hat making processes, which makes a nice opportunity for both sides of your brain to get some exercise together. The foundation laid down in this book, as well as all detailed tips and tricks provided, will assist you in developing your original headdresses with pride and joy. Without the need of any specialized tools, or of being a professional milliner, anybody with basic sewing skills can do! And if you're the one who used to be annoyed by poor outfits, or having no clues to do alterations, for any hats made out of those ready-to-use patterns, it's time to just say good bye to that feeling.
