Product Details


Product Description

Review

"These . . . authors and sewing consultants have long been known for their tips on simplifying sewing techniques."  —Handwoven on Easy, Easier, Easiest Tailoring, the first edition of this book


"Before-, during-, and after-fitting photos of real people in real garments . . . designed to cover every fit challenge imaginable."  —Sew News

Product Description

This new edition of a popular tailoring guide is double in size, adds color photography, and features new and speedier techniques that embrace fusible interfacing and an all-machine-sewn lining technique used in ready-to-wear. More than 700 photos and illustrations accompany instructions detailed enough to allow a beginner who has never taken a sewing class to glide through chapters on patterns and fabrics, proper cutting and marking, methods for pressing and seam finishing, and how-tos that ensure a perfect fit. The choice and tailoring of collars, buttonholes, pockets, and mitered back vents are shown to create individuality and flair, while special sections provide information about stripes and plaids, men's jackets, finishing touches, and helpful tools and notions.

The title says it all. This is a fit for those for all body types, the authors made sure they reached those in the market that struggle to find patterns for themselves, as we all have different problem areas with our bodies. This book is to the point on what to do and how to get the right fit for you as an idividual. Excellent and well worth the purchase. Highly recommended.
