You make the best clothes yourself!
The feeling of creating your own garments is priceless and with the support of this book, along with your own creativity, you will be able to knit and sew fantastic cardigans and dresses that really suit you.
Cardigan and dress have been Anna Bauer's favorite outfit for as long as she can remember: "With these items in the wardrobe, you're pretty much at home, then all you need is a pair of nice shoes and a lipstick!"
In the book, Anna offers nine basic patterns for knitted cardigans and dresses in several variations, including a long cardigan and one with a built-in full button fastening. You can vary the sleeves, collars or patterns yourself and knit to your own measurements. You also get six basic dress patterns to sew, where you can combine different bodices, skirts and sleeves according to your own taste and measurements.
To help you, there is a wide range of knitting and sewing tips, a description of basic pattern construction, where you will learn how to adjust patterns according to personal measurements, as well as a pattern library with borders where you can choose freely for your garments.
