However; shes really showing you how to create a moulage and turn it into a garment; and while its a great way to build a wardrobe; some of her instructions are exasperating. For example; I was looking to make the pencil skirt moulage; and while she tells you to cut on the side seam line; she doesnt tell you what shes using as a seam allowance. Theres mention made of a sa in the actual skirt construction; but unless you know what youre doing its confusing. She also doesnt tell you whether shes factoring ease in the moulage; or in the skirt.I love Chinelo. She was one of my favorite contestants out of all the GBSB series and I was really rooting for her to win. I just wish shed been a little more clear in the way she lays this book out so someone trying her technique isnt sorting through pages for basic information or making a moulage that leaves out some important measurements.39 of 40 people found the following review helpful. Excellent bookBy Adrianne MillerThis book is excellent. Its apparent that the last reviewer made a mistake by giving this book only one star.I first heard of Chinelo Bally from watching recordings of the "Great British Sewing Bee" season 2 on Youtube. Unfortunately almost all of the episodes have been deleted but you can still find them online.Anyhow; this book teaches you how to design your own clothing without a pattern. She gives a number of projects to start you off with that are based on your own measurements and preferences. For instance; you get to select the fabric; how long or short it will be; etc.You do take a lot of measurements; but thats what helps you to get a good fit. But the real gem in the book is that it teaches you the principles of how to take a design that you have in your head and create it to fit your own body.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
