Whether you're brand new to sewing or already know the ropes but fancy trying something a little different, Serena will take you on a journey to reinvent your wardrobe.

In Serena Sews, you'll learn how to:
- master must-have skills - from zip insertion to pressing perfection - to boost your sewing confidence and give your garments a professional finish
- work with basic pattern blocks to adapt and rework as you build your repertoire
- 'refashion' existing items like an oversized shirt into a summer dress, or an old pair of jeans into a cute crop top
- save money and work sustainably by choosing pre-loved garments and fabrics for your projects

Serena Sews breathes fresh life into the craft of sewing to make one-off, versatile, long-lasting items to cherish. The magic of this approach makes Serena Sews a book to come back to again and again. It's brimming full of sewing happiness - for you, your friends and family, and the planet.
