5.0 out of 5 stars great source book, 10 Jun 2006
By Mrs. J. Henderson "the fritz" (Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a really useful source for everyone who likes dressmaking and wants to know about the behaviour of different fabrics as well as how to treat them when sewing. You get advise as to how to stop fraying, what sewing machine feet to use and which seams are appropriate. However this is NOT an extention to 'fabric savvy', so if you've got that one already don't be like me and buy this one too. It only has a couple more fabrics than fabric savvy and repeats the rest, which is really annoying. I am going to give the earlier edition to a friend and will keep 'More fabric savvy' for me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very few man made fabrics, 8 May 2009
By Magicnoir (Huntingdon, Cambs, UK) - See all my reviews
This book was purchased because of the other good reviews. Initially it seemed like a very helpful book, although the made up garments were not to my taste. After reading through the book it became obvious that the author has a dislike of modern man made fabrics. If the variations of woollen and silk fabrics were removed from the book there wouldn't be many pages left.

I won't be keeping this book, I'm buying the one I should have bought in the first place, Claire Shaeffer's Fabric Sewing Guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Fabric Savvy - A must for your library, 26 Mar 2009
If you are a sewing enthusiast and you intend on sewing with different fabrics and are unsure of what foot, needle or what seam finishes to use this book is definitely for you. Along with my reader's digest sewing book this is the main staple to my sewing library. The only thing I have negative to say is that I wish the fabrics mentioned had actual swatches.
