Reviews
Despite all the specialty guides, a good, basic sewing text is essential in any library collection. Clearly organized and full of diagrams and details, this revision of the 1976 edition contains some updates, new information, and cleaner text. Sections on tailoring and sewing projects have been dropped, information on sergers added, and metric measurements included everywhere. The section on fabrics has been enlarged, and children's wear has been simplified to reflect the joy of Velcro. Still, many of the changes are cosmetic, with some chapters reading word for word like the older edition?though the print is larger and darker in the new edition. Overall, this is a great source for sound sewing basics. Recommended for every library, especially those lacking the older edition.?Karen Ellis, Baldwin Boettcher Lib., Humble, Tex.
