Ahead of the Curve is the first sewing book to empower curvy and plus size sewists to feel body confident by sewing a wardrobe that fits. Don't change your body to fit your clothes—change your clothes to fit your body!

Ahead of the Curve includes 5 basic garments patterns, which includes a pair of trousers, a t-shirt, a sleeveless top and two dress designs. Jenny takes you through a series of "Fit Clinics"—tutorials and case studies demystifying the fitting process—showing you how to adjust these patterns to master the perfect fit for your body shape. Once you have got to grips with this, you can go on to customize your closet and create an unlimited array of fantastic clothes that celebrate your body. If you're curvy or plus size, trying to find clothes that fit and reflect your personal style can be incredibly difficult and frustrating. Plus size people so often feel excluded and like they can't express their personality through clothes. This book finally changes that.

This book will be mailed from the USA. If you are not based in the USA and would like to order from a local source, please check out this blog post

No Longer Hiding

I used clothes to hide, they were unflattering and sack like. Since I have embraced my size and started making clothing that actually fit, I have so much more confidence and don't feel like I'm hiding anymore!

Best purchase in a long time.

This is a fantasticly helpful book. I had no idea how to do any of this but it has totally changed the fit of my self designed cloths. The instructions are easy to follow and the diagrams helpful. Now I’m both
happy and comfortable. Thank you so much for this text!

Great fitting instructions

I have not tried the patterns yet, but I love the fitting instructions. They are easy to follow with very clear pictures of each step. Every fitting problem I’ve ever had has a solution in this book. I feel it’s a must have for both experienced and novice sewers.
