Sew U: The Built by Wendy Guide to Making Your Own Wardrobe (Spiral-Bound)


The spiral-bound book “Sew U: The Built by Wendy Guide to Making Your Own Wardrobe” was written by Wendy Mulin who is the owner and founder of Built by Wendy, a NYC-based women’s and men’s clothing label and accessories. She has also written various Sew U instruction books.

In her book Wendy shows the reader how to sew fashionable clothing. The guide includes 3 basic patterns: pants, button down shirt and skirt in the sizes 0 – 12 and XS – L. These three patterns have been taken directly from her studio and can be used in lots of different and exciting ways to create various looks. You will be given easy step-by-step instructions and lots of ideas on how to make your old clothes look ultra-modern and unique.

The book reviews basic sewing skills, and introduces the reader to fabric cutting, more advanced sewing techniques and light pattern making. The author also gives general advice on how to work with a tailor and how to get your fashion ideas across.

If you have your own unique fashion style, and want to create your own personal look, and save money while you’re at it, then this book is for you.
