3.0 out of 5 stars
misnomer,
This review is from: Making Trousers for Men & Women: A Multimedia Sewing Workshop (Paperback)
This book has nice detailing on types of pockets and fly front construction techniques, however it is missing one important aspect. No where in the book does it give instructions on how to make a pattern for trousers. It assumes you already know this part and I find the title of the book misleading for that fact. Nor does it approach how to adjust fitting of the pants.I was rather disappointed

Clear, detailed, professional advice on a difficult subject,

This review is from: Making Trousers for Men & Women: A Multimedia Sewing Workshop (Paperback)
This package meets the high standards we've come to expect from David Coffin. A master tailor, Coffin provides wonderful insight into the nuances of how to make quality, timeless, professional trousers (as opposed to 'pants'). The accompanying DVD demonstrates the issues Coffin discusses in the text. A must have for anyone serious about sewing tailored garments.

This review is from: Making Trousers for Men & Women: A Multimedia Sewing Workshop (Paperback)
I have never come across such an insightful print on garment construction. The DVD is also helpful. There should be more books like this for those, like me, who enjoy making garments with the finest techniques without paying thousands of dollar to the aloof custom clothiers.
