What Customers Say About High Fashion Sewing Secrets from the World's Best Designers: A Step-By-Step Guide to Sewing Stylish Seams, Buttonholes, Pockets, Collars, Hems, And More (Rodale Sewing Book):

So basic, yet so advanced. for example, the buttonhole - once you learn the basic technique, this book will help you take it one step further. Even as a beginner, i found this book extremely helpful. when learning a new technique, this book will help you add a new flare to it.
If you want a more broad explaination, this book won't work for you. I wanted a good reference book on advanced sewing skills and this did not do that. It showed several selected types of details, none that I would ever use, and then expained how to do them.
A beginner can also benefit from the instruction however the book assumes a fundamental knowledge of terms such as bias, crossgrain etc. It is not an encyclopedic book on sewing.The book is neutral and not a blatant advertisement of any particular sewing company's product. This is indeed a step by step book on sewing. the first concentrating on technique, the second on design basics. The instruction is clear and concise.The section on zippers is limited but the majority of the book tackles the most common problems encountered in making a garment. Each lesson begins with a short introduction followed by tools and supplies, pattern preparation, and assembly. An intermediate to advanced sewer can easily follow along to learn designer "secrets" that will make garments polished.
The next lesson is how to sew and insert the lining. The author shows you in one lesson how to draft a lining pattern.
This formatting establishes consistency and allows the reader to skip around the book choosing to read what they need. I was pleased to find a section on preparing a jacket lining since most patterns do not include the lining.
The book is divided into two parts. There is a short glossary included but the book does not instruct on basic sewing.
Overall it is a well written, useful book for garment making. The book is formatted by using an outline to describe each sewing technique.
There are clear close-up photographs, illustrations, and diagrams to accompany the lesson.
I have a lot of sewing books, but this is one that I couldn't live without. I especially love the section on various kinds of zippers. I'm self-taught, but I've been at it for about 6 years. No matter what new idea pops in my head, this book offers plenty of help to make it a reality.
the book was in good condition and it really helped me a lot with fashion tips
