The Essentials Garment Series is a collaboration between garment sewing expert Karen LePage and Alison Glass. Knit Essentials is for sewing with knit fabrics.

Knit Essentials starts with a basic garment, walking you through Karen’s signature process to get the perfect fit for your own body. After getting a good fit, modify the basic garment from a dress to a top, skirt, tunic and tank. Options for sleeve length, neck line, and hem length are all included. Finally, add embellishments to your creations, taking them from wonderful basics to couture pieces. Full color throughout and filled with beautiful and inspirational photography, there is a look for everyone.

Tank, t-shirt, tunic, dress and skirt versions, embellishments, and more, the patterns are an amazing value. Aimed toward the confident sewist, a valuable list of garment making books is included as suggested material for those who need a little more practiced before jumping in to these Japanese style patterns.
