Synopsis:
The Complete Book of Sewing is the perfect guide for home sewers of all abilities. This practical sourcebook of sewing skills provides easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions that will guide the beginner through basic techniques, such as custom tailoring and couture finishes. Each method is illustrated with helpful color photographs. Whether the task at hand is creating a new wardrobe, altering children's clothes, or producing a pair of curtains, this book provides readers with the skills they need.
Reviews:
YA?This outstanding sewing guide provides a detailed reference for both novices and experts. Each page is filled with colorful photographs of models demonstrating different techniques. Chapters explain how to pick and use patterns; select fabrics and notions; sew basic stitches and seams; attach interfacings and interlinings; form darts, tucks, pleats, and gathers; sew necklines, collars, waistlines, sleeves, and cuffs; hem; and add edges, fastenings, and pockets. The Complete Guide to Sewing (Reader's Digest, 1976) makes the directions for marking and cutting pattern pieces more accessible by combining them in one chapter, plus it provides more basic directions for using a serger. However, the blue-and-white illustrations and layout lack the powerful aesthetic appeal of Cream's guide. This title can supplement any pattern company's garment construction, and its visuals will entice many YAs to give sewing a try. A definite purchase.?Linda Diane Townsend, West Potomac High School, Fairfax County, VA
