It's available on Amazon.com if that helps? It's the kind of book I want to keep around for reference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jenninz---thank-you#post-1843720 Sun, 10 Sep 2017 07:13:56 +0000 Jenni NZ 1843720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No Sterling it was library. It is a British book, which tend to be stocked here as we were a colony. USA hasn't been a colony for like 250 years is it? I have so many books, overstocked a bit like my wardrobe, that I have to be careful not to buy many. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jenninz---thank-you#post-1843667 Sat, 09 Sep 2017 23:30:01 +0000 Jenn 1843667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got it through inter-library loan. Definitely a great read. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jenninz---thank-you#post-1843665 Sat, 09 Sep 2017 23:21:22 +0000 Anonymous 1843665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you two buy the book? &nbsp;I haven't been able to find it at my library. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jenninz---thank-you#post-1843634 Sat, 09 Sep 2017 20:21:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 1843634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know Laura. Only thing is it paralysed me a bit! Have only bought the one top since which I had checked about the making of ( in China, but supposedly a smaller family operation). I'm glad you found it interesting. I have read another similar since which I may yet review. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jenninz---thank-you#post-1843625 Sat, 09 Sep 2017 19:20:06 +0000 Laura1975 1843625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On your recommendation on here I got a copy of Lucy Siegle's book 'To die for: Is fashion wearing out the world?' </p> <p>It has been an absolutely fascinating read. I've learned about the garment industry, clothes construction and environmental concerns I'd never heard of never mind considered. It has opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking. The author is the same age and in the same part of the world as me so the cultural references really hit home. So I'm seconding Jenni's recommendation. It's well worth a read. </p> <p>On the back of it I've signed up for a dressmaking class so there may be some future WIWs with a distinctly homemade feel coming your way ylf and perhaps some hunting of vintage items! </p>
