Buy Complete Dressmaking: Essential skills and techniques for beginners by Fallon, Jules (ISBN: 9780857621672) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: BUY THIS BOOK! - This book is absolutely FIRST CLASS! It is your absolute 'must have' and 'go to' book. Anyone remotely interested in sewing, dressmaking etc should have this book. It states it is for beginners, but it is a wonderful reference and go to book for anyone who sews, no matter your level. I simply cannot rate this book highly enough. I've resumed sewing after not doing any for over 20 years and while I have remembered a lot, I've also forgotten an awful lot too. This book is going to be permanently to hand. It is also beautifully presented and easy to follow. There is an incredible amount of useful information in this book. Apart from having it to hand while you're working on a project, you'll also find yourself picking it up while you're sat in the chair with a cup of coffee because the information and how it is presented is just incredibly interesting. If you love sewing, no matter what age you are or what level or standard you are at, or how much you think you already know you will absolutely love this book. It's a really beautiful book, jam packed with superb information. What more can I say?.....just get the book! P.S. I'm not the author! LOL Review: Great book, may even buy another one! - I bought this for my friend as she has just started dressmaking (not her birthday yet so don't know what she thinks), but I think it's an excellent book and would happily have kept it for myself; I may even order myself one later! It has lots of detailed descriptions and photographs, which was really useful to see online before I decided to buy it. It has some basic and some not so basic patterns in it too, so hopefully a good choice for a beginner.
