Start with a Sweatshirt Book

As the weather is getting cold here in the south, I started going through my sweatshirt design books, to find something to decorate my newly bought sweatshirts.

I found this book, Start with a Sweatshirt, by Nancie M. Wiseman.

I was happy to see written how to steps for sizes up 3X in this book. Since it is the Christmas season, I keep changing sizes, not all good.  But, as everyone else, I will worry about losing weight after Christmas.  But that is another story.

My favorite jacket is the one called "Mandarin" on page 9.  It uses oriental fabric (which I have tons of) and the fabric is cut into rectangles, with the ends cut at an angle.  This way you can showcase all that beautiful oriental fabric.  Also, the sweatshirt jacket is open in the front.  You can use buttons or fabric ties to close it, or you can keep it open.

The instructions are easy to follow with guidance for sweatshirt prepping and alternate sleeve attachment given. Binding tips are given in the introduction.

So, check out this book.  You will love the designs.
