This is a must have for anyone who sews. I am a senior Apparel student, and this book was recommended for a tailoring class, but the things I learned in here are very benificial to all sewing.
Essential Manual For Tailoring
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Photographs and photographic instructions are fantastic as well as thorough. What makes this book different from most that I have seen on the market, is the photographic instructions for every phase of development of the suit jacket. Most tailoring books just have drawings that can be quite confusing, and keep you guessing. Many people who attempt to make a well tailored jacket, ending up giving up on their projects soon after they begin due to becoming frustrated and overwhelmed. There are not many books on the market about tailoring anymore; and most books are not totally dedicated to tailoring as this books is. Those that are published for the purpose of instructing tailoring techniques, do not have the colorful photographic step by step instructions for every phase of development of the tailored jacket that this book has. You may see some photographs for some phases of developing the suit jacket but not all of it. So if you are someone who is interested in developing your sewing skills professionally, you should definately buy this book! If you are studying fashion design, you should buy this book!
