This book describes factory sewing of 20 years ago,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sewing for Fashion Design (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
As a custom dressmaker and a sewing author, I was dissapointed with this book and returned it to Amazon. I was hoping for an overview of modern fashion industry processes with specifics on machinery, techniques, and materials. What I received was a rather amateur, very basic set of beginning sewing instructions. There are far better basic sewing books on the market that sell for far less.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Still a great sewing book!,
By alison johnson "ali" (bozeman, MT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sewing for Fashion Design (Hardcover)
I found the above review amuzing due to the fact that they bought a book published more than 20 years ago and wanted modern fashion tips. With that aside, this is a great book, full of information that will never change with sewing a garment. IT's also great if your on a budget. You'll get everything from this book and probably more than any of the "modern" books out there. I'm an instructor at an NYC sewing school and I highly recommend this book.
