Easy Sewing the Kwik•Sew Way $35-95

This book details the current leading edge of sewing techniques, teaching time saving methods and allowing the creation of professional looking garments. This book is simple enough for a beginner, yet exciting for an experienced sewer. The book contains patterns for knit tops, blouses, skirts, and pants; all in misses sizes XS through XL. Using this book, an entire wardrobe can be created in a minimal amount of time.

There are numerous full color photographs of the garments, very detailed instructions and technical illustrations. The book covers creating garments from the master patterns and basic pattern alternations to make additional styles; the tips and techniques within this book will help any level of sewer. The multi-sized master pattern is printed on durable white paper with colour coded lines for each size. The patterns are printed on both sides of the paper so we could include as many sizes and designs as possible. The master pattern includes five misses' sizes from extra small to extra large. The master pattern pieces include seam allowances.

If you trace the patterns using Knitwit Polytrace ($5-00 for 2m, 150cm wide), you can use the master pattern again and again and the bright white paper makes it easy to trace the master pattern. We sell and recommend Knitwit Polytrace. In Kwik•Sew books and patterns it is often referred to as "tracing cloth made of transparent pressed fibers". If you want to use the patterns in any of these books, you will need Knitwit Polytrace.
