it was the first book I bought, I was a little scared of what I would find inside, I was afraid of making a useless purchase, but once I received and read it, I realized that I would buy all the books

I absolutely love my book! It is very easy to follow and understand. Not to mention the cute little extras that made the package so special.
I am totally going to be purchasing more books to help develop my own skills and make my cosplay better.
Thank you for being the artist that helps to build confidence, and encourages new artists.

I just bought this book a few minutes ago and I have only really skimmed through it but already it looks like a much easier guide to follow than some of the other books out there. For a beginner like me long books about sewing can be overwhelming and not simplified enough (at least for me) so this is perfect! It’s not overly complicated and has plenty of pictures for a visual learner like myself. I can’t wait to try the Monk pattern out (once the fabric stores open back up that is)!

This book is fantastic! I wish I got the physical copy so I could enjoy it more. It’s filled with useful information with instructions that very concise, easy to understand and fun to read- you can hear the personality from the page. The pictures are relevant and helpful refrences. Even if you have some knowledge of sewing I think you can benefit from the tips this book has to offer. The dress pattern manipulation was my favorite take away (because it will save me money in the long run). Make your life easier, buy this book!
Also, 5 stars on service. I typo-ed my email address and didn’t receive the download link, but the payment went thru (my fault!). After reaching out, the issue was resolved in a few hours. Kind, quick, efficient service. Always been a fan, ecstatic to be a customer.

I already had a basic concept of sewing. I found myself having difficulty trying to reproduce a pattern that didn’t have all the elements I needed. I bought this book anyway not thinking I was going to learn anything new. Svetlana breaks it down in simpler terms and I was able to approach projects and trying things in a more simplistic manner. I was doing it the hard (and expensive) way. She reuses patterns alot, but you wouldn’t know that judging her intricate costumes. There’s a reason why she can build costumes quickly. I recommend this book.

It’s indeed a great book to start with if you want to start sewing! It gives very clear and simple explainations on how to read and edit patterns, and simple sewing techniques. It helped enormeously sewing my first (albeit simple) cosplay project, and it opened the way for moe challenging projects. Looking forward to the advanced sewing book!
