I draft my own patterns, but I am a novice sewer. This book has all the information required to sew just about any garment. I originally bought it because it contained the only explanation on how to assemble a lined vest that I could find. The illustrations are drawings, which I find easier to follow and there are lots of them! I do have other books on couture and assembly of garments, but this is the one that I go to first. Easy and effective techniques on just about anything.

Our school FIDM uses this book as a textbook and all out reference to sewing in the fashion industry. It has detailed step by step diagrams and explains each step. It shows you the easier way to achieving the results you want. I highly recommend this book if you are a beginner or just need a reference book.

There is no other book that will improve your sewing techniques like this one can. Each section shows the home seamstress how professionals approach garment construction. Every part of a garment is put together step by step, and the terrific drawings leave nothing in question. Instructions are easy to understand and straightforward even for the most difficult techniques. This book is a "must have" reference for anyone who sews!

This book gives the most concise method of garment construction, using methods used in the factory along with reasons for doing so. Skip the home sewing books, buy this one. I recommend it in my sewing classes.
