GET INSPIRED #StretchSewingBook
After seeing how people were scared of stretch and overlocking I decided to take the bull by the horns and got this book. It changed everything for the better. It built my confidence quickly with patterns that 3 years later are still a staple of my wardrobe. Great pictures and instructions and the first thing I recommend to anyone wanting to master stretch.
I bought this when it was first published and made most patterns about 5 times now. The book gave me the confidence to just go for it!
If you are new to sewing knits, this book is an absolute must. It features fabulous patterns, easy to understand instructions and great picture instructions too!
I leant this book to my sister and had to wrestle it back from her after 6 months.
I have used to many of these patterns. In particular I love the Joni dress pattern (aka secret pjs) and I have 3 of these gorgeous dresses including one using the maternity hack 😍 The instructions and photographs really helped me along. I am only really an advanced beginner at best and I found all the patterns really accessible. If you have never sewn with knits or just want something accessible don't hesitate. The book comes with loads of ideas for variations and hacks to help get the most out of the patterns. The whole book is so well laid out and beautiful I can't help flicking through just oohing and aahing over my next make!
I’ve made several things from this book - the instructions have been clear and the fit has been good. It is so wonderful to be able to make things I love to wear. Even better was discovering that the patterns are now available in PDF. I’ll be projecting the patterns to cut them, so I can make slight adjustments and save the different versions on my computer - so much easier to keep organised than all the pattern paper I keep losing bits of 😂
