Book Description
Ever look in the closet at the same old pants and skirts and wish for something just a little different? With this book, the third in the Lark Books sewing series, readers can start with an old familiar pattern, add the right personal touch and voila! transform that favorite pattern into a drop-dead, one-of-a-kind fashion statement.

The over 30 designs included prove that simple, but ingenious modifications can quickly renew old styles. Each project uses color photographs and step-by-step instructions to organize the entire construction into simple daily tasks. Creative ideas and hints for efficient sewing demonstrate how to design original garments and get them finished in a weekend.

An introduction full of handy tips on time management, perfect fitting and taking measurements assures each project's success.
