Arrived early and I had a good look through it last night. Tons of pictures and covers pretty well everything, collars, inserting sleeves, pockets, interfacing and lining etc.
my only complaint is that the book seems “dated”. First printing in 2009 and updated 2014.
Would I recommend it, absolutely. I’ll have it by my side when I’m following patterns.
MPB –
Best book for any one who want to sew
S. R. –
Great sewing book – very helpful for a beginner. The sewing class teacher uses it as a reference. Great clear graphics and detailed instructions.

the GOOD:
1. pictures are great. easy to follow (when she takes the time to include enough step-by-step pictures).
2. looks nice. hardback. pink. pretty.
3. extensive. it has things in it some other books of mine don’t talk in detail about or mention at all (i.e. buttonhole hand-stitching)
4. i have been using this book as my first go-to book as i proceed to make a dress. it is a good first go-to guide
the BAD:
1. i still have to refer to other books on my bookshelf to get a better description of some things. (i.e. that buttonhole hand-stitching thing i mentioned before. her picture still left me with some questions so i had to refer to 2 other books until i found a better written explanation. then i had to practice on some other fabric since i had not done it before and had trouble at first understanding)
2. sometimes i like another book’s procedure better. when i need to install a lapped zipper for the first time, this book explained it fairly decently. but then i found a different procedure in another book that had more photos on how to do it AND i think the procedure sounds like it will produce a better result. i have not tried it yet, but it required more steps and i will do it on my actual dress. right now, i’m practicing on the muslin.
the UGLY:
1. have not found anything yet 🙂

I have a few different sewing guides and this one is good as well. The photo illustrations along with the documentations is perfect for beginners and novice sewer’s alike.
