Do any of you have this book? It actually has quite a number of good step by step photographs in it. Highly recommended for those of you who are looking for basic garments with detailed sewing technique instructions. You can see a bit more in my book review here.
I am preparing to do a sew-along next week. Will tell you more on Friday!

So adorable! I need to make this for my niece!
I have this book! The diagrams are very helpful. But i’m yet to sew any pattern from it. Thank you for the translation, sis.
