Sew Your Own Active Wear - Make a Unique Sportswear Wardrobe from Four Basic Sewing Blocks

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher- Make your own unique activewear sewing wardrobe that's perfect for your workout. Choose from 13 different styles including yoga pants, crops top and running leggings designed by activewear sewing expert, and marathon runner, Melissa Fehr.

Whether you're a runner, a cyclist or a gym bunny, or you're simply looking for the perfect pair of slouchy leggings for elegant lounging, this collection of sewing patterns is for you.

Learn all about how to choose the correct fabric for active-wear sewing and discover expert tips on working with performance fabrics like Lycra and spandex. Before you know it, you'll have a truly unique workout wardrobe to wear while you work up a sweat!

This book is a great idea --- you may need to adapt it to your sewing machine, though, as I did, to make the seams flat enough to not chafe your lady parts. I do not have a serger (I have a basic machine as I am a basic sewer and quilter) but it was easy to figure out the adaptation as Melissa explained it clearly. It was also easy to adapt the patterns to sizes larger than her XL --- Plus Size active wear is insanely expensive, at least in Canada, and this book will save me TONNES of money! Great book!
