Book Description

30 July 2010

Lay it out, cut it out, sew it up, put it on!

Kay Whitt of Serendipity Studios proves that all you need to re-make your wardrobe are a few key things: Great fabric, easy-to-make patterns, a handful of simple skills, and your own personal sense of style!

Use Sew Serendipity to create a fresh, new look.

  • Included in the book are tissue pattern inserts for the skirt, tunic/dress and jacket--each with 6 variations detailed in the book. 3 basic patterns x 6 variations = 18 ways to show off your skills and style!
  • Kay provides the master instructions for each basic garment, and individual instruction for each unique look. Once you master the basics, changing it up is a snap!
  • Each clothing pattern is graded in seven sizes (bust: 32-44; waist: 24-36; hips: 34-46) from XXS to XXL. Use the "Custom Fitting" section of this book to learn how to measure yourself and adjust the patterns to get the best possible fit!
  • Embellish your designs to match your style, whether you're feeling the need for classic, tailored elegance, or you're in the mood for a little ruffled whimsy. Kay's simple embellishments make it a breeze to adapt your design to the look you want.
With Sew Serendipity, you'll find out how to lay out the pattern pieces, cut them out and sew them up. All you have to do is put them on and strut your stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to make 31 Aug 2010
Format:Hardcover-spiral|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this book. OK I've only made one item so far, but considering I have never made something using a pattern before, I found the instructions very easy to follow. The pictures are clear and there are sections about the various techniques that might be required during the making of your garment. I made a tunic dress and am really pleased with the results - can't wait to get onto my next project. Great that it is spiral bound too, makes it so much easier to follow as you can have it spread open next to your sewing machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars sew serendipity soooo bloomin' good 30 April 2011
By Nana Di
Format:Hardcover-spiral|Amazon Verified Purchase
BRILLIANT, what can I say, it's true everything in this book would suit most people.
Well written,very clear instructions easy to follow diagrams,and full of great
ideas that could be used with other sewing projects.One little quibble to author
would have been nice to have instructions to line the coat\jacket.I don't have
a problem with it,but more inexperienced sewers may.Call me old fashioned but I
think a coat deserves a lining,it prolongs it's longevity and it looks much nicer,
but a miner issue really. Another good buy from amazon,many thanks
