4.0 out of 5 stars Good resource for constucting clothing and home items, December 2, 1998

By A Customer

I really like this book because it is a good first resource for sewers. Not only does it cover clothing construction, but it also covers sewing for the home, such as, pillows, curtians, and slipcovers. Not many books tackle both subjects under one cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of information and ideas..., July 17, 2000

By	Suzy (Royal Oak, MI USA) - See all my reviews

I am new to sewing and I found this book extremely helpful. It is not overly simplistic but does explain sewing basics and many projects in detail. It includes how to plan, measure and complete each project. Additionally this book has great color illustrations!

The book is great, I wish I could find the other volumes that go with it. My sister wanted a book also that was the reason for the online purchase. She is very happy with the purchase.
Thank you Cshort
