Let Liesl Gibson, founder and designer of Oliver & S sewing patterns, teach you how to alter the elements of a pattern to make exactly the dress you imagine.

Let Liesl demonstrate how to change sleeves, silhouettes, pockets, hems, necklines, closures, and linings. By combining the elements presented in the book, you'll be able to make thousands of unique dresses. The only limit is your imagination! Use the skills you learn in this book to customize other patterns as well. With these techniques, you'll look at sewing patterns as just the starting point for your creative expression!
