A novel approach to bias-cut garment design and construction. You've probably heard a lot of hearsay about the bias-cut. It's tricky. It's hard to sew. It uses too much fabric. The seams sag or ripple. It needs tons of basting. What if you could stop trying to control the bias and instead start using its unique properties in your favor? What if that enabled you to make fabulous clothes that fit and flatter? Our method: * eliminates bias-cut sewing almost completely; * simplifies textbooks' worth of pattern drafting with a simple math formula, no scientific calculator required! * produces complicated-looking designs with a streamlined process; * is efficient in both time and fabric, with only tiny slivers of material left over. The projects in this book are modular and have many options to create various garments. There are five blouses, three neckline variations, three sleeves, and eight skirt variations. Over 200 unique combinations are possible! Embrace bias-cut garment design with ease and flair!

DescriptionOnce upon a time, a girl child was born. In most cases, girls grow up fine. THIS girl grew up...interesting. By incredible happenstance, she became a share-holder of a castle; a petty thief; a performance art critic; a victim of guerrilla warfare and organic farming. She did all this, before she got married and had the five kids. Add into the mix a kleptomaniac English Mastiff and the stories only grow exponentially in FUN! More remarkable yet, our heroine threw caution to the North wind and moved to Iceland where she encountered a real Viking, an unreal date (or two), went insane, and fell in love with the most beautiful island nation in the world. Read these short-short true-life stories, and prepare to laugh out loud. Most importantly, be so very thankful they didn't happen to YOU. About the AuthorCirese Summerrose made her way into the world backwards. Her doctor, seeing that things were amiss, decided to turn her around. Doctors have been trying to turn her around ever since, generally with much less success. Cirese now lives in Iceland with the Anti-cat, Brooks and the surviving house plants. She is currently at work on another book
