Praise for this book

“Not only is The Witch's Wardrobe book a total delight to read, but it is also a very much-needed resource for today's witch...This book is the answer to all my witch wardrobe requirements and I can put my own personal spin on the fabric I choose. The book includes all kinds of garments from skirts to dresses and even accessories to zhuzh up any outfit.”

— Rachel Patterson, witch, podcast host, and bestselling author of over twenty-five books

“Raechel Henderson has inspired me to dust off my sewing machine and give making another go. Her easy-to-follow instructions (with pictures!) and down-to-earth and genuine encouragement will remove all intimidation (and excuses) for making your own garments. There are projects in The Witch's Wardrobe for every skill level--I can't wait to try some of these patterns (fairy dress, I'm looking at you!).”

— Natalie Zaman, coauthor of the Social Media Spellbook

“Got flounces? Raechel Henderson had me at 'Curtains make great walking skirts' (don't worry, there's a pants project, too) and kept me through the history of the petticoat and kitchen witchery tips. The patchwork skirt, ribbon skirt, and fabric flower crafts will finally use up all those odds and ends you've been keeping in the closet. So get that stack of IKEA curtain bottoms down from the shelf and start sewing!”

— Linda Raedisch, author of The Secret History of Christmas Baking

Occult literature desk

Henderson provides a charming fusion of fashion and faith, offering thirty accessible projects that demystify both pattern drafting and magical embellishment. The inclusion of size-inclusive designs is a significant strength, ensuring broader accessibility for the community. However, this book may not suit those seeking complex historical costume accuracy or advanced tailoring techniques, as it prioritizes magical intent over structural rigor. It is also likely unappealing to readers who prefer ready-made garments or view sewing purely as a utility rather than a spiritual act. Ultimately, it serves best as an inspirational companion for crafters interested in the symbolic power of textile work.
