Getting Organized

   

This ebook is like having someone to ask “Hey! How do I do this?”, right by your side all the time.

Many a time, particularly when you are new to sewing, there will be areas of the garment construction you are not overly familiar with, things that you don’t do every time you get to your sewing machine.  Sew More For U will help you with instructions, tips and techniques in these areas.

Sewing is a wonderful pastime, very satisfying.  When you wear an outfit you have made yourself, it feels so good and it is you, you did it, you made it happen.

Each new step in sewing you take on, something you haven’t tried before, will, once mastered, build your confidence and spur you on to bigger and better projects.

Sew More For U is an eBook to help you with your sewing.  You will find lots of hints, tips and techniques to add to your collection and make your sewing experience more enjoyable.

Our contents range from what you need in your sewing kit to pressing your finished garment.

Just think, after some practice, you may wish to add your own label, imagine
“Made by “your Name”, “ your Town”, “your Country” on all your outfits and could be on outfits you make for friends when they see what you can do.

We also cover things like body shapes, how to measure correctly for the perfect fit, what style suits you, how to correct ill-fitting garments and even how to accessorize. 

Would you like to start your own business and work from home? 

With sewing, there are so many areas you can turn your attention to, you can sew for profit and start your own business in sewing for

·    The Home
·    Children
·    Fuller Figure
·    Petites ( under 5’2”)
·    Craft

To name just a few.

If this is the way you would like to go, take a look at our Chapter 41, “Sewing For Profit”.

We hope we have covered much of what you need for a great sewing experience. 

Even though most of the techniques are aimed at the dressmaking side of sewing, you will find the tips and techniques useful in all areas of your sewing, like sewing for your home.

We hope we will find our ebook Sew More For U very helpful and it becomes your DIY Sewing Companion.

We make no claims to being and are not professional dressmakers, just years of experience sewing for ourselves and friends and family.  Much of this expertise we felt others like yourself could benefit from and we hope you do.

If there are areas we have not covered and you would like covered, drop us an email to ctb.baird@gmail.com with SUBJECT Ask Sewing Susie, let us know what it is and we will endeavor to help you.

Best regards
