    Kate - there is a Kindle Version as well!!! I bought both so I wouldn’t have to trace off the patterns. Kennis sends you a code to download the patterns. YAY! Great review by the way... Hugs from Oregon!

      Thanks for telling us. I was wondering how one got the patterns with the Kindle version.

      I bought the Kindle version from Amazon-how do I get the code from Kennis??

      @@ladylouise1969 Here’s a copy of the email I got from Kennis which shows how to get the “secret password”! Enjoy.
      Hi,
      I know that some of you purchased my new book, Sew Beautiful. Thank you very much! However, It has been brought to my attention that the eBook/Kindle book does not have the link and password to download the patterns. It is supposed to, but it doesn't.
      The publisher and distributor have fixed the problem on their end, but unfortunately, from the retailer's side, it might take a few days for them to update. They might do it right away or it might take them a few days, depending on their refresh schedule.
      I know you can't wait to get to the patterns, and I am also eager to see your creations. I have been given a link and a password to access the PDF patterns. Please reply to this email with your copy of the eBook receipt, and I can send you with the link and the password.
      Thank you again for your patience and your support. I know that some of you experienced frustration with the support of the retailers; I am truly sorry. Please accept my apology for the inconvenience.
      Regards,

      I have now bought the Kindle book and there is a link in the book to obtain the patterns. I have downloaded mine. I have to say, though, I am underwhelmed by the patterns but am thinking of altering some. Open shoulder? Definitely not for me (I get a rash with the sun on my shoulders) so I plan to try a tulip sleeve with that. For these reasons I bought the Kindle version as I feel the print version is not worth the money for me.

    Happy New Year! This book looks great - a really high proportion of potentially wearable patterns for me. Love the attention to details like making the patterns easier to see. Some expensive indie patterns are so badly printed that it's a guessing game about which line to follow.

    Itch to Stitch has great tutorials on their website. I too like that the diagrams are large and clear in this book. Unfortunately, I only like the jogger bottom pattern here. Otherwise I would have been very tempted to get it. I think PDF patterns would be nice to have with the book so you can either print and stick together or send to a copy shop. Great Video as always Kate. Thank you so much. Watching your videos is my treat.

      @@maryblaylock6545 Most of the ITS patterns have cup sizes but this book has patterns that don't have darts, have more relaxed fit so possibly we can avoid having to do an FBA. I made the Mornington dress without an FBA

    Can you suggest a sewing book that actually has plus size patterns, that go up to a size 30. That would be so helpful to so many of us.

      Cold shoulder tops, waterfall front knit cardigans and a selection of other styles I've seen many times before: the patterns are so dated and disappointing. A shame as the layout etc do look good.

    Another release with no real size inclusivity. I refuse to give any more money to pattern companies/designers who choose not to see so many sewists as human beings worthy of their designs.

    Looks like there is a lot of help and detail which is good, but the patterns are so dull and old fashioned. Nothing new to see here folks.
