Sew Chinelo
How To Transform Your Wardrobe With Sustainable Style
Using the freehand cutting method for which she has become so well known, bestselling author and designer Chinelo Bally shows us how to make fabulous new items from garments that most people already have in their wardrobe as well as projects using interesting new fabrics for that fashion feel.
For a long time, homemade garments have suffered from an unstylish image, but now, in-line with the trend for conscious-led fashion, Chinelo shows you how to transform everyday items into timeless pieces. Learn to turn a man's suit into a tailored dress and old pair of jeans into a sassy tutu skirt.
The projects will include the use of additional fabrics and embellishments so that readers can create a fresh wardrobe full of the colours, textures and styles that appeal to them. Throughout the book readers will be encouraged to make clothes to suit their own style and achieve results that are beautifully distinctive.
Sew Chinelo reveals the secrets to producing wearable clothes with exquisite style, feminine glamour and a professional finish. So minimise your waste and maximise your creativity!

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
