Reviews
You say you've just discovered a tear in your daughter's new prom dress? Or maybe you realize that the form-fitting miniskirt you just finished sewing is more form fitting than you intended. What to do? Deckert, a regular contributor to Threads magazine and the author of Sewing for Plus Sizes, has anticipated most of the problems faced by home sewers, and here she offers a variety of practical solutions. Illustrations and step-by-step procedures are excellent, as is the section on sewing-machine troubleshooting and on burn testing to ascertain the fiber content of mystery fabrics. A good choice for public libraries.
