Home sewing is booming again. Inspired by sites like Etsy,
Craftsy, Pinterest, and CreativeBug, by the continuing popularity
of Project Runway and other fashion shows, and by the ever-growing
DIY movement, there are more than 35 million sewists in America.
Now, for this new generation that wants to make their own clothes,
express their fashion sense, look great, be creative and save
money, to boot comes Amy Barickman s The Magic Pattern Book, an
illustrated guide to creating a one-of-a-kind wardrobe from six
magic patterns. What makes a sewing pattern magic? It s a simple
equation: One magic pattern can be transformed into six different
looks for example, The Skirt (pattern B) yields an A-line skirt, a
maxi skirt, a pleated hem skirt, a pencil wrap skirt, a flared bias
skirt, and a ruffled mini. Then comes even more magic there are six
magic patterns in The Magic Pattern Book, resulting in thirty-six
different looks. Following each look are suggestions for specific
fabrics, many of them repurposed items, for a total of 216 garments
and accessories. The skill level is basic, and patterns are bundled
onto a CD in an envelope in the back of the book, and also found
online (to be downloaded and printed out on 81 2" x 11" paper).
What makes a book magic? Another simple equation: great value, a
great promise, a great package, and a great author."
