There is no other book that will improve your sewing techniques like this one can. Each section shows the home seamstress how professionals approach garment construction. Every part of a garment is put together step by step, and the terrific drawings leave nothing in question. Instructions are easy to understand and straightforward even for the most difficult techniques. This book is a “must have” reference for anyone who sews!

Our school FIDM uses this book as a textbook and all out reference to sewing in the fashion industry. It has detailed step by step diagrams and explains each step. It shows you the easier way to achieving the results you want. I highly recommend this book if you are a beginner or just need a reference book.

I bought this sewing guide looking for the advanced time-saving construction techniques used in the garment industry. Sadly, I didn’t find them in this book, despite the glowing reviews. It is a good textbook and reference manual on basic sewing. The information is clearly presented with excellent and plentiful illustrations. However, the skills depicted are ones I mastered quite a while ago. I will keep this book in place of others in my library, but this was an expensive experiment. I would not recommend this book to anyone over an intermediate skill level.

This book gives the most concise method of garment construction, using methods used in the factory along with reasons for doing so. Skip the home sewing books, buy this one. I recommend it in my sewing classes.

Normally the intructions tell you to leave the shoulder seams open and then “hand sew” them. Not this one it shows you how to do the factory way. If you don’t own any other sewing books then this is the one to get
