Like a solid sewing class, excellent easy to understand
The best book ever. The instructions are easy to follow and solve many problems when making clothing. Patterns are not made to fit the average woman, this book helps save money and frustration by helping you to make adjustments so your time and financial investment are not wasted. Thank you so much.

Invaluable
This book is incredible. It contains lots of detailed information, right through from measuring yourself to how to make alterations if a certain area just doesn’t fit properly. I have been (self taught) dressmaking on & off for over 50 years and the only problem I have ever had is how to achieve a perfect fit. Hopefully this will now be a thing of the past with the detailed “Fit issues and how to fix them”.

I liked this book as it was clear and easy to follow, illustration are on the same page and language is not as complex as my 1950’s addition plus it’s in metric as I don’t do inches
