Stylish Skirts: 23 Simple Designs to Flatter Every Figure is the newest book from Sato Watanabe. It shows you how to make 23 different skirts, which are simple yet stylish and the instructions are very very easy to follow.
From the publisher:
Stylish Skirts is the English edition of a popular Japanese sew-it-yourself fashion book which allows you to create simple yet stylish skirts that look and feel great— at a fraction of the cost of store-bought fashion. With this book, there’s no end to the kinds of skirts you can create to match your body shape, your taste in fabrics and colors, and your mood (not to mention your favorite tops, shoes and accessories)! The instructions and diagrams are a snap to follow and provide a huge variety of styles— from ultra-feminine to artfully disheveled. All 23 skirt designs in this book look great in different fabrics, colors, prints and textures—so the options are truly endless.

I’m planning to sew more for myself this year, but find getting the right fit is an issue. This book looks like it would be very helpful!
So far the only clothing I’ve sewn are infinity scarfs but I would love to try sewing a skirt and this book would be so helpful!

I sew for dresses and outfits for myself, and also for my friends. It is a wonderful passion I have! This book would be so wonderful since all of us girls are different body shapes! I would be so astounded to win!
I have shared this on Facebook, Pinterst, and Twitter!
I just started sewing my own clothes! I could definitely use this book- I keep messing up the waistband/zipper on my latest skirt (I’m such a noob).
I occasionally sew for myself, but I mostly sew for my children and friends’ children!

I occasionally sew clothes for myself, and it is something I’d love to do more of.
Well I don’t usully sew garments for myself - I find it rather hard to find patterns that actually fit without a lot of adjustments … I often change them a bit, so they fit better, or take up hems hat kind of thing…

I sew clothing for myself, especially skirts and dresses.
I have made clothes for myself in the past, but it’s been a few years since I’ve made anything, so I think it’s about time I make something again!
I sew for myself on a regular basis — and skirts are an especial favorite. I never do use patterns but the skirt on the cover of this… I want it so much! And I think this is going to be a great book for sewing according to measurements (I wear plus sizes).
I sew for myself occassionaly but not often.
I’m hoping to hone my skills and do a lot more of it in the future..

I do sew clothing for myself, but not for others. Others are too picky and I am not that patient!
I do sew for myself occasionally, but would love to learn how to better. Thanks for the chance!

I´m sewing a new coat for myself!
I am sewing skirts for my curvy features. I find it empowering!
I haven’t sewn clothing before but would love to try, especially skirts.
I sew for myself, and have for most of my life. I made my first dress completely alone at the age of 12.
Hiya!
I have recently started sewing my own clothes; just yesterday I sewed a pair of knickers! (They seem to be a bit small, but it was a trial run so…. Unfortunately I do not have a sewing machine, so I hand sew everything; my first project was a calf length skirt and I am very proud of myself!!
