Product Description
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!

Exceptional!,
By apronstring "mamma" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sew Serendipity: Fresh and Pretty Designs to Make and Wear (Hardcover-spiral)
I am SO impressed by this book! I can't put it down,I take it with me every where in case I get a minute to read. I am thrilled with the literary content as well as the patterns. The patterns are full size tissue in a pocket in the back, well laid out on a sheet for each category, not heaped line over line like a crazy maze as I have had in other books! The pieces for the skirt for example are the same for each skirt design in the book so they can be reused (think "save a tree" here!)and the instructions for making the skirts look unique to each design are well laid out with suggestions on how to make it your own! ie: adding trim or interchangeable elements between the patterns like pockets and hemline design or cuffs and collars in the jackets. There isn't a pattern in the book that I would not make either for me or my sister (mostly for me! Shhh!). Well worth the price. I love Kay Whitt's designs and unknowingly had several of her patterns before I bought this book. I looked it up after I realized the similarities! None of the patterns in the book are a duplicate of what I already owned and I didn't see anything in the book that she sells seperately in pattern form.

So Adorable,
By Just This Much (Quebec, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sew Serendipity: Fresh and Pretty Designs to Make and Wear (Hardcover-spiral)
I am fairly new to sewing. I know the basics, but my "skills" are limited. Even so, I have managed to finish two projects from this book and both turned into very wearable items!I made the skirt featured on the front of the book, which turned out really sweet, with a gorgeous bundle of Amy Butler fabrics I got through Etsy. The pattern was easy to follow and didn't require any complicated skill set. Just a little patience! The second project I made was a little dress tunic. It also turned out nicely, however, I am not super fond of the way the sleeves are formed. I hate poofy! So I think I am going to stick with the skirts until I figure out how to make the sleeve differently. Both projects had ruffles on them. In fact, all the project have ruffles. Creating the ruffles, in my opinion, was what I consider to be the most difficult part. The author actually recommends having a ruffling attachment for your machine. I, regrettably, do not have one. But heck, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to get one!

Great projects,
This review is from: Sew Serendipity: Fresh and Pretty Designs to Make and Wear (Hardcover-spiral)
There are some great simple projects for any sewing ability. Lots of patterns to choose from and lots of ways to make it your own. I am planning a whole new wardrobe for me. My teenage girls have picked out some projects as well. I am looking forward to sewing with them this summer.
