If you like to sew skirts, yet hate having to buy patterns, this is THE book you need. Marvelous that I can make a skirt for both myself and my daughter without having a tissue pattern! Kudos to the author!

good for basic sewing terms and techniques

I've made two skirts from this book so far, and they were both dead easy. You need basic knowledge of how to use a sewing machine to use this book, but everything else is laid out clearly. I especially appreciate the instructions for creating a pattern based on your own measurements: I've never heard this described so clearly before.

There are so many more ideas I want to try from this book! I can tell I'll be consulting it for years to come.

make your own pattern for skirts, very cute beach wrap skirt
