Sewing without a Pattern (Little Craft Book) (Bantam Minibook)

Phyllis Ficarotta First published 1969

About this book

64 Things to sew. Supposedly you can make any in 60 minutes, but that is just the sewing time. You take a few measurements, draw directly onto the fabric, cut the pieces, and then sew. Most items are figure-skimming. The cape pattern is foolproof, but takes awhile to draw out properly. The straight skirt has an elastic waist and probably one can make it in an hour. Skirts, capes, a-line dress, kimono.
