I may not say this about any other book, but if you want to sew seriously, buy this book. It will tell you how to master the nit-picky details that make the difference between “where did you get that” with a slight tone of disdain and “where did you get that” with an unmistakable undercurrent of envy.
Welt pockets? Check.
Bound buttonholes? Check.
French seams? Check
Bagging a jacket? Check.
Many of these terms may be unfamiliar, and that’s ok. If you really want to sew well, you will learn what they mean and you will want to be able to create them yourself. Buy this book. The example clothing may be questionable, don’t worry. The detailed instructions translate to whatever fabric and item you are working with.
