After owning boutiques and designing and making clothes for more than ten years, authors Patti Gilstrap and Seryn Potter have come to realise a basic truth about clothing: It’s not about fabric, although a beautiful fabric can certainly transform a simple piece. It’s not about trends, although some trends can be just right for your shape. It’s about fit: a good fit is the hardest thing to attain because off-the-rack clothing is made to a certain set of standards that often don’t’ work with our body shapes. Patti and Seryn’s philosophy is simple: All you need is three basic skirt patterns – A-line, Pencil and Flare. Then add unique details to each skirt to create your own, one-of-a-kind designs. Stylish Skirts pairs these skirts with twenty fabulous projects, so you’ll soon have your own wardrobe of flattering, wear-anywhere skirts. You’ll find that every skirt in this indispensable book is utterly sewable and totally wearable, suiting every figure, lifestyle and level of sewing skill. You will want to make them all!

Laurence’s message of how to grow spiritually is universal and non-denominational, and his compelling discussions of life after death are centered in the foundation of Laurence’s own psychic abilities and high spiritual state.
