All Access Sewing
This is a sewing book with a difference
Our clothes are a huge part of our identities; a way to express ourselves. What we wear can make us feel incredible or invisible; comfortable or in pain; stylish or drab.
But imagine if …
- none of your clothes actually fit
- they all caused you pain or made you feel invisible
- you just couldn’t find clothes that fitted your needs and your body
- the clothes you wore actually made you unwell
- you couldn’t get yourself dressed and had to rely on other people.
Well, that’s the reality for 1 in 5 people in the UK and 1 in 4 in the USA. Even in the 21st century, clothing doesn’t cater for disabled people. And this needs to change.
This book shows everyone – whatever your ability or challenge – how to embrace sewing as a craft, and adapt your own wardrobe to accommodate your every need.
Tips, tricks, hacks, and tools, all designed to make your sewing journey an All-Access one.
This is the ramp of sewing books – giving you all access to sewing
