Customer Review

rating: 4 A good guide, but not the best nor the only guide to have
by Customer A29E5EV0RLVX8H at January 07th, 2007
This book was used as a text book for my sewing classes. My professor told us that this edition is MUCH better than the recent edition, and I believe her.

Some of the instructions in this book are downright WRONG. It's obvious that an experienced seamstress was not consulted when the editing of this book was taking place. Some of the pattern alterations they picture are impossible to do in real life. So, this should not be your only resource book. However, there are instructions in it that are very useful, so I would consider this a decent purchase.
