Betty Foster, known for her regualr broadcasts on "Woman's Hour", shows how, by mastering simple pattern making and improving basic dressmaking skills, it is possible to design and make a fascinating range of garments, from jackets and dresses to children's and teenagers' clothes. She introduces the reader to the simplest pattern of all - the "T" shape - and shows how this can be adapted to suit any size and shape. She demonstrates how this basic pattern can be used to create 28 garments, from a cowl-neckline dress to a tie-front blouse, trousers and shorts and a kimono jacket. Betty Foster also gives details of standard sewing techniques, from basics like seams, darts and facings to waistbands, buttonholes, pockets, gathers and frills.
