This book is written in so much detail and vital information other designers will not share with you,. I am a designer and seamstress and wanting to get my work moving forward and this has been a blessing of a book. It was delivered fast and have not put it down since i got it, I have to say I read it every time i have a chance to. I am a working seamstress, mom, wife, so time is limited but i have managed to keep reading. It is exciting to have a book that was written for people like me and she is so nice to have shared all her experience, knowledge and advice in this book. I would encourage anyone that wants to move their designing or sewing business forward to purchased this book , it will open your eyes and comfort you as far as how to start your business and keep it moving, more importantly move it out of your house, and so so much more.This book also has tools needed, sewing machines, books you should have to help for learning or for references, websites for recommended classes to take to improve your sewing skills, websites for designing organizations and business and so much more. Like i said it is loaded with vital info and a fun book to read. Hope this helps and good luck.
If you, like me, are interested in entering any facet of the fashion design industry, this book is an amazing first step. Within the pages of this book I've been able to begin fully vetting my idea. Personally, I think the book also provides a nice selection and variety of additional resources to explore within the various chapters. Again, this is a good book to help you get started thinking about your potential business, consumers, and if you're really built to handle the job.
It has lots of interesting insights and it is very well written. I only wish I had bought the real thing and not the electronic version.
I started a home-based custom clothing business about 1.5 years ago and I really wish this book had been available then! I found this book to be extremely helpful for what I do. It helped me figure out how I can better run my business now, gave me ways that I can grow my business in the future, and provided excellent online resources (these alone would have taken me years to compile by myself). I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to build a home-based sewing/design business.
I just received this book and so far I absolutely do not regret this purchase! The book is written in a way of speaking directly to an actual human being in the industry and posing the question, "How to start a Home-based fashion business". Easy to read and in the first 10 pages I had gotten ideas that were very invaluable. I would definitely recommended this book to any and all and for the very low price that it is priced at its a no-brainer addition to any collection. You wont even notice that 15.00 missing but you WILL notice this book.
Angela Wolf is one of my most favorite designers. She is so generous with her advice. This book will help many upcoming fashion designers avoid some costly mistakes. Angela really wants you to succeed.
Why is this book so very amazing for someone just venturing into the world of sewing?I started sewing thinking it would be fun and that I could make money from it without that much effort. Down the road, I ran into problems! I actually even became afraid of sewing or selling anything I made for the longest time!This book will prepare you for what's to come and how to deal with it. This book gives you a very realistic view on how to deal with many problems you will be probably encounter over your time sewing and selling.It's also jam-packed with many websites and other books that you should read. It even goes through legalities!As a bonus, it was written by Angela Wolf, who is great at speaking for Craftsy lessons, because she's a fun and exciting teacher! You definitely get that vibe from this book instead of being bored to tears! I hope she will write a revised version of this book one day!- www.seruki.com -
Angela Wolf has written this book just like she talks!She is easy to understand and encouraging. It does not get bogged down with technicalities.
