    • Great for customizing, but where are the patterns?!
Format: Kindle
This book is great for learning how to sew activewear and to customize your own clothing, with tips for resizing, changing zipper and seam placement, adding pockets and color blocking. But no patterns are provided, even though it references using the pattern blocks. The only one I could find on the author’s size is the bottom block for leggings. I couldn’t find the tops or jackets and would be nice if the referenced patterns were included in the book. ... show more

    • Great book on fitting activewear!
Format: Paperback
The book has lots of information on how to modify its 4 basic patterns to fit different bodies. I made a top out of it and the book was very easy to follow and understand. Gave me courage to try more modifications!

    • Soon I’ll be the most stylish runner!
Format: Paperback
Melissa- thanks for a fabulous book. I’ve started on the active jacket and plan to make other items as well. The book has many helpful photos and illustrations. I like the concept of blocks. It will definitely make alterations and modifications much easier.

    • Straightforward Sewing Guide for Beginner-to-Intermediates Wanting to Tackle Activewear
Format: Paperback
Summary: Well thought out book for beginner to intermediate sewers that want to tackle more challenging, activewear bottoms and tops. Readers may need some extra support beyond the book to complete patterns. Photos of garments needed more care and attention prior to publication, as some weren't flattering/didn't fit well. Pros - Well thought-out with regards to structure; beginners and intermediate sewers will appreciate the tone and feel of this book. There's no pandering or talking-down here; everything is accessible, open, friendly and informative. - Clearly communicates sometimes challenging instructions and concepts, along with pictures wherever needed. I especially appreciated the photos of the "mistake" seams, and how to fix them. - Inclusive book, in that it openly states it's intended for all. - Blocks available for download for digital copy holders; with a quick sign in proving you've purchased the item in question, you'll have access to printable "blocks" for each of the patterns listed. Cons - The copy I received didn't translate well to Adobe Reader. I couldn't see full images of many of the photos, and some of the pages were blank. - The photos of some of the final items concerned me, in that I didn't find them appealing or well-fitted. The shorts were the first I took note of - extra puckering in the crotch area, and looseness elsewhere, didn't make me jump to try these out. - A bit more explanation required regarding the "blocks"; new to intermediate sewers may not understand the difference between these and patterns, as well as how to use them. Thank you to the publisher for giving me advance access to this book for review purposes. ... show more
