Sewing Activewear: How to make your own professional-looking athletic wear Paperback – Illustrated, 6 Dec. 2017

This book is a great resource for anyone wishing to sew their own activewear. I've made about 4 pairs of Ninja leggings on a serger and sewing machine using the author's You Tube videos, but I still picked up some really useful extra tips on how to make them longer lasting and look more professional from applying the information in this book. Sure, you can get the information on-line, but personally I like to have this information in book form, at my fingertips (where I can add my own notes) rather than having to search the net every time. Lots of very clear, close-up colour pictures to accompany the explanation, which again, I prefer compared to the videos. OK, there are a few minor grammatical errors in the text but hey, English isn't the author's first language and since I wouldn't be able to write a book in English (leave alone another language) who am I to complain? This is a really good resource and I'm sure it will help me to build upon my skills in all sorts of garments (not just activewear). I'd also like to add that this paperback book is a lovely size and weigh, easy to handle and feels really nice to hold. Not sure what type of paper has been used for the cover and pages, but it feels as though quality products have been used to produce it.

Read it cover to cover the day it arrived, a fan book with detailed explanations. Can't recommend Johanna high enough. Going to get her jeans book next.

Johanna is so dedicated to writing and explaining her books , she’s multi talented, I have all her books and follow her on YouTube.Great layout and pics .

This is a great book filled with fantastic information and techniques.The section on activewear fabrics fantastic and the techniques are well illustrated.I purchased the printed version and so far it seems to be a sturdy product.There are some places where it appears there is a little bit of text missing, but that doesn't detract from the content.I would totally recommend this book for seamsters who are starting out with sewing activewear and want to learn techniques to really personalise their garments with features they would find in ready-to-wear activewear clothing.

Great. Thank you

An excellently, well presented book that has clear illustrations and very easy to read descriptions. Although familiar with many of the contents from years of sewing it was interesting to read to refresh and learn once again the specifics to this type of sewing.Whatever level of skill you may have you will certainly benefit from buying this book.

Loved this book. Very clear, good simple instructions and large pictures. Very up to date with techniques.

Haven’t read it yet, but I have read other books from same author, and that is good
