Library Journal Review

Brooklyn designers and boutique owners Gilstrap and Potter focus on fit in their first pattern collection, which features variations on three basic skirt styles. A-line, pencil, and flared skirts work well with many body types and are simple to construct in their most basic form. Gilstrap and Potter walk sewers through the construction of a basic skirt in extensive detail then present variations on each style. The clear, step-by-step approach and friendly tone make these projects suitable for adventurous beginners and beyond. Don't let this book's trendy, youthful styling fool you-these garments could easily be worn by women of all ages. (c) Copyright 2011.
