Sew Your Own Wardrobe: More Than 80 Techniques

This basic wardrobe selection, timeless classic never out of fashion. Can use many of them, there are modifications to the same style. The book shows how to sew different seams, with good explanations and photos. Even shows how to sew the entire garment, including when finishing seams - commercial patterns give you the sequence, but do not show when to serge or zigzag seam allowances, you need to figure on your own. Very good photos and a very useful book.

I bought this to learn fitting and try to up my game but this book is amazing and will pay for itself immediately. On top of well displayed steps there's a wonderful website where I can print out a PDF and assemble skirts, bodices, dresses...in my size. If you're familiar with PDF's these will be the best ones you've ever worked with. Impossible to line up lines wrong by even a millimeter and effortless. I printed out my skirt pattern then went to the chapter on to sew it up. It's perfect. I also applied needed fitting to the pattern before cutting fabric because of the help of this book. A PDF can cost up to $15.00 and it still would not guarantee that the sellers size chart is accurate. The pattern in this book I Know has accurate size chart. I'm blown away with their web site, support and information in this book. Wish I'd gotten it years ago. What's a PDF? You click on the size/pattern you find on their website,(the book tells you how/where to measure yourself to find your size) print it out, place the pages together like laying tiles, tape and cut it out. Wonderful and cheaper than buying MFGR patterns from the big names like Simplicity . It's the perfect book for beginners or intermediates like myself.

This book was a gift. I was told the knowledge breath of the book was really good. and the book provided many ideas for putting items and outfits together.

Excellent reference for sewists, especially beginners. Packed full of info. Something you keep on your shelf forever and use frequently.

The book us very good. Very well made and organized. Easy to follow step by step images and instructions. I recommend this book. The only problem is that it came with the corners damaged.... No impact in the context but it bothers me a lot.
