Product Description
Looking to give your wardrobe some pizzazz? Start sewing! Like knitting before it, sewing is being reclaimed by a new generation, one that celebrates individual creativity.
Fresh on the heels of her first book, Sew U, which focused on sewing with woven fabrics, Wendy will now teach the creatively inclined how to make perfect t-shirts, dresses, and hoodies, all with soft knit fabric. She'll take your sewing to the next level, providing step-by-step instructions (both for sewing with a serger and without) and patterns directly from her own studio. And with tips on how to alter T-shirts and clothes you already have, you'll soon be revamping all your clothes to make fabulous custom creations.

The Only Sewing Book Exhibiting Good Taste
There are hundreds of learn to sew books but most of them exhibit a taste level that is hokey and depressing. Most books show designs that are so dated and UGLY they make me want to run screaming! Even the books marketed as DIY style are almost all sad-awkward-crafty or tired rock-a-billy crap. Sewing for yourself at home is wonderful and Wendy makes you feel cool and modern for doing it. This and her other book are the only sewing books I like. The writing is good, the illustrations are great.

Great Presentation of Topic
I'm a novice sewer and serger and found this book to be incredibly helpful on the topic of sewing/serging knits. I loved that this book offered different levels of accomplishment for the projects. The author did a great job of breaking down the steps to complete each task. There are many tips and techniques and this book is designed for both the advanced and beginner sewer. I know I will refer to this guide often and really appreciate this spiral binding that allows the book to lie flat. This is an essential addition to any sewing library.

awesome
The author's attitude that anything can be done--just try it, is liberating for any kind of sewing. Lots of good inspiration and just a good instruction book for knits.
