highly recommended

The right top can move with ease from city chic to understated casual. This book shares advice on fitting and patternwork that helps create well-fitting, attractive tops. From making the basic T-shirt, to working with bias-cut fabrics, it's all included here. Addresses fitting problems and customizing a pattern as well.

This book helps me do a better job of constructing my tee shirts

I am short, full busted, round and no longer have a perky body. I bought the book because I make a lot of tee shirts and have problems fitting. Marcy does a thorough job of teaching us how to construct and alter our garments. Often the front of my shirt rides up because of my bust size. Marcy shares the tip of cutting across the front of the pattern at the bust point and adding an inch to accomodate the full bust. This extra space gets eased into the side seam at the bust point and my tee shirts no longer ride up in the front. She also gives detailed explanations and pictures on how to alter all parts of the pattern. This is now a book I refer to often when starting to work with a new pattern. Thank you, Marcy for sharing your sewing knowledge with us.

Easy Guide to Sewing Tops and T-shirts

I am enjoying this book very much. The author is a well known sewing teacher and fitter. She explains every step in choosing the fabric, fitting
the pattern, cutting & finishing the garment. Also, ways to change the
top with decorative stitching etc. Very well presented and full of color
photos. I would recommend this to anyone who makes & wears T-shirts and tops.

Clear and Helpful Resource for your Sewing Library

The author has a clear writing style, provides clear and helpful illustrations and not only summarizes critical procedures, but gives some fine-tuned tips and tricks on established techniques that are necessary to produce quality, professional-looking results. Avoid the Heidi Klume "it looks home sewn" assessment, and apply the techniques learned from this book to any kind of top, blouse, or project. It's not just for t-shirts.

Shortly before this book was published, the author appeared on Sandra Betzina's "Sew Perfect" show (former show on HGTV) to discuss how to create bias-cut garments, pattern layout issues, and fabric recommendations (like a forgiving linen). Many of those tips are in this book.
