Help...How do I sew this together? I often am asked if Sure-Fit Designs™ provides sewing instruction steps. Beginners using Sure-Fit Designs™ are particularly concerned that they might not know how to sew the garment together and what should happen first if they design the pattern themselves.
Even though Sure-Fit Designs™ is primarily a fitting and designing system, there are sewing construction steps provided for specific designs in the Dress, Pants, Shirt, Children’s kits and in the Men’s Instructional Package. This resource guide is posted as an article on the website - www.sfdLearningCenter.com, but I know some of you reading here don't typically go to the website for information.
So here’s where you’ll find the information and though construction illustrations are not always provided, the instructions tell you what to do and in what order.

In an effort to give you sewing construction guidance, first analyze your current resources. Did you know all of this existed in the Sure-Fit Designs™ kits, patterns and leaflets?
Do you have a stockpile of existing commercial patterns? The sewing steps provided on the accompanying guide sheets provide an excellent source of instruction. Their pattern may not be exactly what you are wanting to sew, but if there is any similarity in design to what you are creating, their instructions can be a great resource.
Do you have any general sewing construction resource books? There are a number of comprehensive books available that not only provide construction techniques, but will also provide step-by-step procedures. My favorite is the Vogue Sewing Book. It’s a thick resource guide and well worth the investment.
What do you recommend as your favorite how-to sewing reference book?
