About this product

Product Information

This new edition of a popular tailoring guide is double in size, adds color photography, and features new and speedier techniques that embrace fusible interfacing and an all-machine-sewn lining technique used in ready-to-wear. More than 700 photos and illustrations accompany instructions detailed enough to allow a beginner who has never taken a sewing class to glide through chapters on patterns and fabrics, proper cutting and marking, methods for pressing and seam finishing, and how-tos that ensure a perfect fit. The choice and tailoring of collars, buttonholes, pockets, and mitered back vents are shown to create individuality and flair, while special sections provide information about stripes and plaids, men's jackets, finishing touches, and helpful tools and notions.

  • Great Book

    Really great book for understanding alterations. Clear illustrations and the authors explain the "why" in addition to the "how".

  • Great resource!

    I had seen this book recommended in sewing blogs, and it is definitely a good source of information for the sewist who wants to work with knit fabrics. Although it's old, it's still very relevant since it is about technique rather than style.
