I'm often asked if Sure-Fit Designs provides sewing instruction
steps. Beginners are particularly worried that they might not know how
to sew the pieces together and what should happen first.
Even though Sure-Fit Designs is primarily a fitting and designing
system, there are sewing construction steps provided for specific
designs in all the Dress, Pants, Shirt, Children's kits and in the Men's
Instructional Package. Here's where you'll find the information and
though construction illustrations are not always provided, the
instructions tell you what to do and in what order.

Sure-Fit Designs designing book/DVD combinations: All new designs - each with complete step-by-step sewing construction instructions. (Each book/DVD is designed specifically to go hand-in-hand with the Pants Kit, shirt Kit and Dress Kit.) In an effort to give you sewing guidance, first analyze your current resources. Did you know all of these how-to sewing instructions existed in the Sure-Fit Designs kits, patterns, books and leaflets? Use this information as a handy guide to find what you might be looking for. Second, so you have a stockpile of existing commercial patterns? The sewing steps provided on the accompanying guide sheets provide an excellent source of instruction. Their pattern may not be exactly what you are wanting to sew, but if there is any similarity in design to what you are creating, their instructions can be a great resource. Third, do you have any general sewing construction resource books? There are a number of comprehensive books available that not only provide construction techniques, but will also provide step-by-step procedures. My favorite is the Vogue Sewing Book. It's a thick resource guide and well worth the investment. For more information on how to sew the garment together read this article Part 1: Sewing Construction Guidelines
