In genderless sizing from XS-XXXL we illustrate the eternal relevance and versatility of traditional workwear shapes and detailing. These simple everyday garments are clothes not fashion, living outside the fast and careless, trend-led landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have explored the concept and designs within the book through conversations with makers of varying disciplines, from weaving to wood turning. These makers model the patterns and tell us a little of their story and their craft. The reader can view their fabric choices and interpretations of the patterns and in turn formulate their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book includes the 5 full-size patterns and variations; Blazer, Chore Jacket, Drawstring Trousers\/Shorts, Shirt\/Shirt Dress, Mail Bag. In each chapter we will talk through the cloth used and offer tips and advice on handling and finishing. This is not a beginner’s book but nor is it advanced. It’s a handbook of staple makes and satisfying techniques, sure to become a well-thumbed companion to any maker’s handmade wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn page 70 there's a QR code to download the pattern PDFs if customers don't want to cut into those included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merchant \u0026 Mills","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48223131566234,"sku":null,"price":68.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/8675\/4202\/files\/1_4a87d24c-cca8-4ada-985e-321433c115b0.png?v=1781046942","url":"https:\/\/thesewingdepartment.com.au\/products\/the-workwear-book","provider":"The Sewing Department","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
