This new book by Jenny Rushmore of Cashmerette empowers curvy and plus size women to feel body confident by sewing a wardrobe that fits.
Don’t change your body to fit your clothes – change your clothes to fit your body!
Ahead of the Curve includes 5 basic garment patterns (UK sizes 16–36/US size 12–32/EUR sizes 44–64), which includes a pair of trousers, a t-shirt, a sleeveless top and two dress designs. Jenny takes you through a series of “Fit Clinics” – tutorials and case studies demystifying the fitting process – showing you how to adjust these patterns to master the perfect fit for your body shape. Once you have got to grips with this, you can go on to customize your closet and create an unlimited array of fantastic clothes that celebrate your body.
If you’re curvy or plus size, trying to find clothes that fit and reflect your personal style can be incredibly difficult and frustrating. Plus size women feel constantly excluded and like they can’t express their personality through clothes. This book finally changes that.
Contains multi-size printed pattern sheets for all designs that can be traced off.

I bought this for my 8 year old granddaughter who enjoys sewing. I think it is never too early to learn how to mend. I hope she really enjoys it.
A substantial tool, really useful for turning corners out, have added a Liberty ribbon so it doesn't go missing!!
Simply so pleased with this lovely little acorn, absolutely gorgeous, a beautiful addition to my sewing room.
This site was recommended by a sewing friend. The magnetic block is beautifully made and makes the perfect gift. Beautifully wrapped and delivered quickly. Highly recommend this company.
Bought as present for my cousin. She loved the choice of colours.
Great service too thank you
I love pretty much anything published by Laine, they have outdone themselves with this issue however.
Immediately on flicking through I bookmarked three 'must knits' and really enjoyed the article on Satu Rämö too ( if you've not read her novels now is a very good time to start).
Really enjoying this card deck, is helping improve my granny square skills. Instructions are clear, easy and fun!
These are the most beautiful Cohana sciossors I now have in my collection! The colour of a camelia blooming in the snow with the white leather case and silver sparkly star is the most beautiful of them all!
I have used a few of these threads for my sashiko and pleased every time with the results . Although fine , even using them single stranded , the colours pop out against the fabric. They feel so smooth when stitching with them . They arrived quickly too.
This thread looks beautiful on the fabric and fills so well. Would love to have more choice of colours.
