Product Information

Since the best way to learn is to get stuck in, Love at First Stitch starts you sewing straight away. Love at First Stitch gives you all the know-how you need to start making the dresses of your dreams. At this moment I cannot take in-person lessons, and need to resort to youtube, blogs and books to figure things out.
