I love skirts. They are simple to make but with embellishments they can look complex.
My favorite garment to make would be all clothes for a baby, dresses mostly. (as I have a new granddaughter whom is 6 weeks now) i also love to do over shirts for my hubby and myself.
Thank you for the chance to win.

Skirts & dresses for my 3 girls!
I love to make bags. Big ones, little ones, squares, ovals and anything in between – they all make me happy!
I’ve been making a lot of knit tops right now!

I love to take basic patterns and add heirloom sewing details such as pintucks, and lace plus using the heirloom stitches on my sewing machine to embellish the outfits.
Dresses and skirts.
Skirts!!!!
My favorite garment to make would be Halloween costumes
My favorite garment to make is a flannel nightshirt. Weird, right? Well, I’ve made so many that I feel comfortable that I’m doing it correctly. I wouldn’t know where to start on my other patterns. I need sewing lessons!
Love skirts, easy fit, love to wear them.
I like to make bags of all kinds. I’m always looking for new patterns.
Love to make over jeans jackets with detailing and bling!
Kids clothes!
This is something I would love to have. I like to make clothes.
Pajamas!
I love costumes – I refashion clothes to be costumes and I sew them from patterns. Sewing clothes to fit your personal style is the best!
my favorite garment to make are summer tops. You can use just about any kind of material and use up all your scraps. You don’t need a lot of fabric and the looks are endless.
congrats to the winners!
I’ve mostly made tops of every kind!
Blouses. I’m in the middle of revamping one right now! I’ve cut off ruffles, adjusted shoulders, tapered waistlines, changed out buttons, and hemmed. The most difficult one was full of pleats, but it was worth the effort. It was more my style when I finished it.
I love skirts. Quick and easy. But I also like to make much more complicated shirts and pants as well depending on mymood.
Easiest things to make are those designs/patterns that are designed to be made completely on a serger. They sew up so fast you wonder why you didn’t sew like this before?
I love to make dresses for my granddaughter. I truly enjoy being able to use bright, colorful fabrics that I would never be able to use for myself.
Also, enjoy making bags and making oodles of pockets.
Love to sew for family! Also, make gifts for friends & family!
Actually, the plainer the garment the better. I guess my favorite would be a skirt. I have taken a plain, easy skirt that flows freely from the waist and added everything from embelishments, applique-work, and shadow-stitching to adding a lace ruffle under the hem or rows of ruffled fabric of different colors -along the bottom half of the skirt to create something playful and cute. I have also used the same plain pattern adding pin-tucked rows and sewn insertion lace within the skirt to dress it up. The simple patterns offer a landscape for creativity!
It’s gotta be a skirt! Instant gratification
My favorite garment to make is a skirt. They are so easy to put together.
I love being able to create my own version of current trends, as well as refashioning my old items into new ones for my daughter.
Anything that is new to me. Last year I refashioned a dress that was brand new and a nearly new jacket from the Goodwill. For the dress I redid the hem belt and collar giving it some pizazz. If it hadn’t been for the sewing shows and blogs I don’t think I would have had that can-do perspective!
dresses for myself and my 3 year old daughter. and teaching my 9 year old to make pyjama trousers for himself.
Fleece pajama bottoms!
I really like making PJ’s for the grands. Good way to use up fabric, mix and match fabrics, etc. And they love grammies jammies.
My fave are dresses and skirt for little girls , I have 3 daughters and am always making things for them
Skirts. Easy, forgiving, and flattering.
Usually I do heirloom, mostly baby clothes and baby blankets.
I love to make Aprons. Thats my favorite. I also love to make dresses for my girls!
dresses
I like to sew everything. With that, I like to challenge myself to learn something new. Lately, I have been designing & making purses. I recently finished making a lined leather purse with lots of details from an old leather coat. I like skirts as well and would love to learn new tricks, styles & embellishments for them from this book.
I LIKE TO MAKE DRESSES BECAUSE YOU HAVE A COMPLETED OUTFIT WITH A FEW ACCESSORIES. I ALSO LIKE TO MAKE PANTS BECAUSE THEY ARE FAST TO SEW.
My all time favorite is little sweet baby clothes.
My favorite garment to make would be vintage style dresses. I wish everyone would wear this style again…
I love making purses and jackets. Who ever has enough!!
I love making tunics because there’s so much room for creativity. I can (machine or hand) embroider, paint, applique, bead, reverse applique or use many other creative finishes. A tunic is a blank slate for whatever creative impulse I’m having, not to mention – they’re flattering!
I love VINTAGE ANYTHING. So when I see something new I like, I figure out a way to make it Vintage!
I like making jackets as long as I don’t look like a walking Quilt Shop, it’s a fine line between fabric selection & taste.
Simple summer tops
I like making tailored jackets.
I like to makeover pants and skirts into better fitting miniskirts and capris!
I love sewing dresses for my granddaughters, ages 1 and 4. They are fun to make and they enjoy receiving dresses that Nana makes. Thanks for the opportunity to win this book. It looks like something that would be helpful in sewing for them as well as myself and my daughters.
