Vogue Sewing is a Great Resource
by Customer AZM3ZIA79XQN3 at August 28th, 2008
Vogue Sewing is a well made and illustrated book. It contains pretty much all the topics that a beginner would need to guide them trough simple or intermediate sewing projects.
I highly recommend it.

Great book!

One thing I really didn't like about this book is that it tries to get the reader to buy Vogue patterns, and talks only about how to alter them, but does NOT mention how to make patterns from scratch yourself. Just another marketing trick to increase sales of their patterns. Although it does have some other practical info on sewing.
