Alice & Co Patterns A LITTLE BOOK OF SEWING TIPS is a collection of sewing wisdoms gathered together from across our pattern collection.

"The aim of the book is to give you useful tips, rather than burden you with rules and regulations. In sewing there are always many ways to get from A to B; we advocate taking each garment individually and responding to the fabric and design, but sometimes it's just a case of how much time we have left to finish it before we need to leave for the party!"

The book is designed with generous margins and pages for notes so you can add your own methods and musings as you progress on your sewing journey. 

Together with our expert graphic designer Rosamund Saunders we have come up with a nifty way for printing and assembling the book at home - making it a lovely gift - for yourself or a sewing friend! 

We like to think it might become your own personal sewing companion: a place to journal your own sewing, to keep for yourself and to pass on to others in the years to come. 

HOW THE BOOK WORKS

- The book is available to print-at-home in either A4 or US Letter sized paper.

- There are instructions on the first page of the book to explain how to put the book together: the book is designed to be printed on single pages, which fold together and are hole punched and threaded through with ribbon or string to make the book!

- Because of the unique construction of the book you can sew along the bottom of the pages to turn them into pockets - perfect for storing any samples or additional notes!

- Notes pages are un-numbered so you can print as many as you like and keep adding to the book.

- Your download will also include a separate pdf with a cover label, in case you want to make a hard cover for your little book.

TECH SPECS

- Download: when you purchase the book you will receive a link to a download a zip file containing x2 pdfs for the book itself and additional label. The link will also be sent the email address you used to purchase the book.

- Pages: the book is comprised of 19 single sheets, optimised for either A4 or US Letter size paper. 

- Printing: we recommend selecting the 'print-to-fit' option or similar for this book - it's always a good idea to print a test page first to check what settings work best for you
