The tricky finishing details and specialized fabric requirements needed for most outerwear can scare off even experienced sewers, but as Sewing Outdoor Gear beautifully demonstrates, these garments needn't intimidate. Rochelle Harper, who has designed outerwear for several major manufacturers, carefully leads us step by step through all the basics of making jackets, coats, parkas, and pants from various fabrics, including nylon, polyester, microfiber, cotton, knits, and fleece. Excellent diagrams document features such as layering garments for Alpine skiing, high aerobic activities, and creative street wear. Harper's instructions are more general than project-specific, but they are so thorough and her designs so classy that even nonathletic types may want these clothes in their wardrobes. --Amy Handy
From Library Journal
A freelance teacher and designer of outdoor gear, Harper (Sew the New Fleece) offers a technique book rather than a sewing-project book. She covers all aspects of working with specialized outerwear fabrics, including choosing patterns and fabrics, fitting, repairing, and designing your own gear. For sewing collections where demand warrants.
