Details Condition: New Format: Hardback ISBN: 9781787137639 Publisher: Quadrille Age Range: Adult Overview The Great British Sewing Bee: The Modern Wardrobe by Juliet Uzor is a stylish, practical sewing guide for anyone who wants to build a wardrobe of clothes they'll actually wear. Written from within the world of the beloved Great British Sewing Bee brand, it combines clear technique with genuine creative flair. With 28 projects spanning womenswear sizes 8 to 22 and downloadable PDF pattern sheets, this hardback is designed to take sewists from confident beginner to accomplished maker, one garment at a time.

The book progresses logically from simpler makes to more ambitious projects, building confidence and technical understanding along the way, and covers fitting advice across an inclusive size range of 8–22. Full-colour photography throughout shows finished garments styled for everyday wear, while step-by-step instructions demystify pattern-cutting and alteration for home sewists.
