Format:Hardcover
This book is good, especially if you want to know specifically about dressmaking, rather than sewing home products. It is very comprehensive about materials and items you will need when completing dressmaking projects. It is good for beginners who want to learn how to make clothes, as it provides full details about parts of a sewing machine, machine feet, overlocker and how to intepret patterns. A good buy.

Top marks. 19 Jun 2008
By JO TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
I highly recommend this book, it is great.
I did buy a couple of books on sewing at the same time, and found that I shouldn't have bothered.
This book is the only one I need. It contains everything and much more than the others I received.

The layout is excellent with colour photographs throughout.
The paper is a nice quality, white and glossy. (I can't stand the cheap yellowish paper you get in some books.)
It's an enjoyable book that will serve me a lifetime, unless my daughter nabs it, then I will definitely buy another.

Very American style, and not very practical.
Might be a useful book for the hobby sewing enthusiast, interested in the "frillier" parts of the craft, but precious little use to most of us who just want to learn how to do... Read more
