"Sewing outerwear is different from sewing more conventional garments. Itís certainly much easier than sewing a tailored jacket: there is no interfacing and the zippers are exposed. Sewing outerwear can also be fun and creativeóand you will have a garment that doesnít look like a hundred others.
Sewing outerwear may be less expensive than buying it, saving 50 percent or more on the retail price. Materials for garments may be purchased in kits or as individually selected yardage. You may find that a kit will be less expensive. However, if you choose not to use a kit, be sure the necessary insulation material and notions are available."
