Knit Sewing Essentials: My Favorite Books for Stretch Fabrics

⏱️ Feel free to skip ahead using the Timestamps.

Hi everyone, welcome back to the channel! Today, I’m excited to share my top five sewing books for working with knits. Whether you’re brand new to sewing with stretchy fabrics or looking to level up your skills, these books are packed with tips, techniques, and inspiration. I’ve personally used each of these, and they’ve become essential tools in my sewing library.

✂️ FYI- I'm probably going to switch up my video releases to Sunday mornings. I now work Saturday's so I'm thinking this will work better with my schedule so I'm available to respond to comments on my days off.

Now, I want to hear from you! What are your favorite sewing books for knits? Let me know in the comments, or if there’s a book you think I need to check out, I’d love to hear about it.

Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you don’t miss future videos, including my upcoming Ask Me Anything at the start of the new year. If you have any questions—personal, sewing-related, or anything else—drop them in the comments or email me at [email protected]

Thanks so much for watching, and happy sewing!
