"I was blown away by "Sew What ?!? Vol.1 The Basics - How to Design Sustainable Fashion"! Despite its name, this book is not about sewing - it's a comprehensive guide to sustainable fashion.
The author provides a valuable value framework for designers, outlining the principles of sustainability and how they can be applied to fashion. She also emphasizes the importance of transparency in the design and manufacturing process, which I found to be incredibly refreshing in an industry that often lacks transparency.
The book goes beyond just design principles, however, and supplies a short history of the fashion industry and its impact on the environment. It sets targets for a more sustainable fashion industry and includes a new economic model, which I found to be both informative and inspiring.
Throughout the book, the author offers practical tips and advice for designers and individuals who want to make the transition towards sustainability. From using eco-friendly fabrics to creating long-lasting garments and adoption of zero-waste patterns, these tips are easy to follow and applicable to anyone who wants to make a positive impact on the environment through fashion.
I can't wait for "Sew What ?!? Vol.2" to come out! This book has truly opened my eyes to the importance of sustainable fashion, and I know that the next volume will be just as informative and inspiring."

As someone who loves and lives fashion and cares deeply about the environment, this book spoke directly to my heart. The author's passion for sustainable fashion shines through on every page, and her personal stories and experiences made me feel like I was having a conversation with a close friend.

I found the author's writing style to be clear and easy to follow, even when discussing complex topics, like regenerative farming and gender equality. The book covers a wide range of concepts, from the environmental impact of fast fashion to the exploitation of workers in the garment industry. The author's expertise and personal references made each topic feel relevant and relatable.

Overall, "SEW WHAT?!" is a book that I would highly recommend to anyone who cares about the future of our planet and the people who live on it. The author's passion, knowledge, and practical solutions make this a must-read for anyone working in fashion.

Therefore, I give this book a well-deserved 5-star rating.

P.s. Cant wait for the announced second book!
