My Books
In recent years, I have had the fantastic opportunity to write two industry standard text books which have been used in universities around the world.
They have become a sewing guide and mainstay of garment construction professionals and those individuals new to sewing since my first book was published in 2016.
The alterations shown in my book “Simple Tailoring and Alterations” covers everything from shortening a hem to shaping a garment with sewn darts.
My book will show you how to alter clothing for men and women, ensuring a better fit.
It also gives practical information on equipment, fabrics, correct procedures for measuring individuals and stitching processes.
This book covers all aspects of alterations; skirts, dresses, trousers, jackets, shirts, coats and waistcoats.
It is the perfect book for all levels of sewing enthusiasts and professionals for tips, advice and troubleshooting.
My book “The Waistcoat Workbook” contains in-depth step-by-step instructions on how to draft a selection of waistcoats onto pattern paper from start to finish, with detailed instructions on what measurements are required.
My book also covers the best fabrics to use to construct the garments mentioned in the book, as well as advising on how to deal with intricate patterns and challenging materials.
This book covers a variety of indutries and genres which include; Historical, fashion, folk, national dress, utility, Cosplay and Steampunk waistcoats.
It also gives a brief history of waistcoats in Europe and around the world.
