I love how she has a very conversational style - "Don't worry if you have to unpick a little bit here' or 'I like to pour a cheeky glass of wine and relax for a little button-sewing! Love at First Stitch is also available in Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, North American English, Norwegian and Swedish. If you are brand new to sewing or want a handy reference book for your essential techniques, then 'Love at First Stitch' by Tilly Walnes is a great place to start. I only made the skirt recently so would like to think I've moved beyond beginner, and was still learning.Although I used to sew a lot when I was younger, I definitely lost some of my skill set, so I thought having a reference book wouldn't hurt. Her first book, Love at First Stitch, was a Sunday Times bestseller, published in ten international editions. Simple, elegant, and a little groovy, Love at First Stitch is all you need to start making the dresses of your dreams--with 7 complete full-size patterns. Tilly does always suggest variations to patterns, and this dress is a good start to get going with pattern hacks.
