A lovely bright copy which looks almost like new. No inscriptions and clean pages throughout. Bright pictorial boards. On close inspection there is perhaps a little light surface scuffing; but you have to look hard to see it. We also have several of the others in the series in stock. (see other listings.).

About this title

Synopsis

Like any other art or craft, sewing begins with basic techniques. This book gives you the essential information that every sewer needs to know. It is not a “project” book, but rather a reference featuring tips and methods, special techniques for certain fabrics and more detailed explanations of pattern instructions. The book gives you the opportunity to choose the best technique for your purposes. It emphasizes the details that make the difference between a professional-looking garment and one that looks homemade. Fashion details come and go, but the fundamentals of sewing can be applied to any design. The photos add depth and dimension to the instructions, giving you a close-up look at each step. For the new sewer, the experienced sewer, or the sewer who has become a little rusty, this book is designed to be a help and an inspiration.

Store Description

Richardson Rare Books Tel. 01472 823900 was formerly known as Mr. Books which is located on Tonbridge High Street in Kent, England for over 12 years up until July 2017. Due to the sale of the bricks and mortar side of the business it made sense to change the name to reflect a shift of direction. Since then we have been trading online, at PBFA fairs and Bloomsbury Book Fairs, as well as showcases at select antique centres in Lincolnshire. We don't specialise in anything in particular, just rare and fine books on many subjects. Over the years we have built up an impressive range of signed modern fiction firsts which aren't always listed on abebooks so please do call us if you have any particularly collections you'd like to add to. The stock is being constantly replenished so it's always worth visiting us at one of the fairs we exhibit at. See web site for details (subject to constructing it.)
