FROM THE EDITOR

These past few years comfort sewing has taken a new form. We sew and wear comfier pieces and we sew for self-care, but we still want to create projects that are fun to sew and cute to wear. Sew Quick + Easy Vol. 3 is all about elevated essentials that every sewist needs to hone new skills and build a wardrobe. This collection consists of four basic styles with a twist that will expand your sewing creativity and knowledge. You’ll stitch an elasticated pair of pants with hem darts, a cropped and hooded sweatshirt, an everyday raglan tee, and a compact tote with a surprise pocket!

This time we are doing things a little differently—we have corresponding video tutorials with every pattern! You’ll find instructional videos on our YouTube channel, Sew Daily Network, that demonstrate the most difficult construction details of each project: installing a separating zipper with hood, inserting an invisible zippered pocket, creating an elasticated casing, and even sewing on buttons with a machine. Sewing fun and challenging new patterns has never been easier.

Any skill level of sewist can enjoy this collection—and if you are new to sewing bags, the Kools Carry All Bag is the perfect start! The pieces in this collection also work together fabulously to create a comfy ensemble that you can live, work, and play in. Before you dive into your fabric stash, browse through the basics of sewing with darts, knits, and zippers in the Getting Started section. We can’t wait to see what you create from this compilation of elevated essentials!

Happy Sewing!
