Editorial Review: 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. Average Rating:
 Rating: - My new best friendThis book has become my new favorite sewing book. There are great projects in the book as well as the freedom of customizing your own clothing. I highly recommend this book! Rating: - The Only Sewing Book Exhibiting Good TasteThere are hundreds of learn to sew books but most of them exhibit a taste level that is hokey and depressing.

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. Rating: - Great Presentation of TopicI'm a novice sewer and serger and found this book to be incredibly helpful on the topic of sewing/serging knits.

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 ...

Rating: - Sew U Home StretchThis is a wonderful resource for sewers of all ages. I am always eager to learn how to do different things - not to mention more easily. I heartily recommend this book. Instructions are easy to follow.
