Book Review – Ahead of the Curve: Learn to Fit and Sew Amazing Clothes for Your Curves

Ahead of the Curve is the first sewing book to empower curvy and plus size women to feel body confident by sewing a wardrobe that fits. Don’t change your body to fit your clothes – change your clothes to fit your body!

Ahead of the Curve includes 5 basic garments patterns, which includes a pair of trousers, a t-shirt, a sleeveless top and two dress designs. Jenny takes you through a series of “Fit Clinics” – tutorials and case studies demystifying the fitting process – showing you how to adjust these patterns to master the perfect fit for your body shape. Once you have got to grips with this, you can go on to customize your closet and create an unlimited array of fantastic clothes that celebrate your body. If you’re curvy or plus size, trying to find clothes that fit and reflect your personal style can be incredibly difficult and frustrating. Plus size women feel constantly excluded and like they can’t express their personality through clothes. This book finally changes that.

Make an Easter basket that kids will love when you sew it from scratch! When you sew a fabric Easter basket, you can choose exactly the colors and prints that suit your child’s personality. And you can use the basket year after year for a handmade Easter tradition.

Baskets are not as hard to sew as you’d think they’d be. The construction is actually pretty simple. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to add extra personality with details. We’ve rounded up 12 sewing tutorials showing how you can make your own fabric Easter baskets. There are even a couple of no-sew tutorials if you’re short on time.

These fabric Easter baskets are all so cute!! And they’ll be even more fun once they’re filled with eggs, and the Easter bunny has visited and left treats in them!
