About
It's time to get subversive, again! The downtown divas of Dew Subversive are back with another happy helping of straightlaced sewing advice for stylish results every time. Transform tacky bridesmaid gowns and pleated pants into picture-perfect tops, skirts and accessories. The two Melissas and Hope deliver 30 great projects that are achievable for even the new sewer. Subversive Seamstress is your secret readmap to the jewels of thrifting and the ins and outs of refashioning. This book has shortcuts, tips and secrets to the wide world of inexpensive, individualized fashion. Our clothes make a statement about who we are. What better way to say, "I am an individual!" than to wear one-of-a-kind items? We derive the most fashionable satisfaction knowing that we are reusing and recycling what already exists in this material world - - and looking darn good doing it!
