	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - Not the same-old, same-old; wonderfully different from basic how-to books If you buy only one book about sewing...well, it probably shouldn't be this one. But if you buy more than one, this would be an excellent choice. This book was something of a godsend for me. I draft many of my patterns from scratch, and heavily alter any store-bought patterns I use. Some of the standard sewing how-to books (like Vogue's) are hard to beat for easy reference and the sheer breadth of topics they cover, but because they are written for the widest possible audience, they can be frustratingly over-simplified on certain topics. Example: I had spent hours scanning through books and the web trying to demystify set-in sleeves. I kept turning up the same information over and over again: how to ease the sleeve cap, how to join the sleeve to the garment, how to perform very basic alterations. None of this was very helpful when it came to drafting a sleeve. How wide should the sleeve cap be? How tall? How steeply should it taper? How much extra, exactly, should be added for ease? Here, at last, are the answers to those questions. I found the writing to be exceptionally clear and accessible, in fact more so than most "beginner" books. Even if you have no intention of copying the painstaking construction techniques detailed here, there are lots of little tricks and techniques to help you fit garments more precisely, construct them more easily, and achieve a finer end result. If you like making clothes but hate for things to scream "home-sewn!" then this book is for you. + See Full Customer Review
