Helpful for First Timers
4 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
I found this book to be quite helpful. It was the only book I could find on sewing fur at the time. I would recommend this book for getting started. It lists many of the different types of furs, leather, suede. Giving a solid background even if you just want to know more but don't want to sew. Somewhat outdated. But, hey the techniques work. My only wish would be for more patterns and more pictures & details with the step by step directions.

Not what I expected and way out of date
5 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was anxious to recieve the book becasuse I was going to start a project with a recycled mink coat I had purchased. When it did arrive, I was immediately put off by the lack of detailed pictures and steps provided to execute the listed projects. I found the instructions for the projects somewhat vague and realized that a lot of revision was needed in order for anyone to be able to follow what was going on. I must say that if one does not intend to actually begin a project or make a fur garment, the book itself is an interesting read and a great reference. Another review had said that if updated the book would be a great text for students, and I would have to agree.

A Rare Source for Seamstresses
29 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This little book is pretty dated when it comes to the fashions shown, but it has valuable and very hard to find information on sewing leather and fur garments. The businesses in the sources section are mostly out of business or have no websites, so that part of the book is not very helpful.
There are, however full. detailed step-by-step instructions for making fur scarves, something I was specifically interested in. Also includes instructions on recycling older fur garments. All in all well worth the money, since standard sewing books have few, if any instructions for sewing these types of projects.
If you want to work with fur, you need this book.
