The Sewing Book (Dk)

Best book for any one who want to sew

I think it is a good book. It also gives you information on using a sewing machine for your work.

Amazing product and amazing services. Thanks

contains basic classes, tips and tricks, step-by-step photos and lot more. get it !

A must have book for beginners. Very detailed and clear illustrated instructions. Worth the price.

I liked the book very much. I found it very helpful as it gave me a lot of new ideas.

Excellent and very useful book.

It's a good book no doubt. Well explained with pictures. But it doesn't say anything on drawing patterns independently. It explains the usage of ready made patterns and alterations using the same. I doubt if we have those things available in India. Rest the book is great.

The book was in excellent conditions even if it was used. It's a good book for those who start sewing. Short and clear instructions.

This is a great book. This is a book I know I will keep handy to keep referencing when i try something new or want to find out the best way to approach a project. (I also bought the Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Sewing book, but that book is all drawings and is mainly focused on making clothes from patterns, I flipped through it once and that one is now in the corner somewhere) My favorite thing about this book is the information is presented visually in with tons of High Definition crystal clear photographs. I learn visually. The pictures are so clear you can see the different textures of thread and characteristics of the fabric. Which is very useful because you can SEE & UNDERSTAND the differences in threads, see the grain and texture of the fabric or facing materials. They don't stop at great photos, they give detailed text of what they are showing along with step by step instructions on each photo. They also tell you what needle and stitch is best and ways to make things go easier, like notching, ironing, basting, interfacing etc.... Great Pics + Great information = Learning. Each chapter is well laid out taking you from Basic levels and into intermediate as well as advanced techniques. All with difficulty rating for each subject. While the Reader's Digest book focused on patterns and has only drawing diagrams, this book has so much more. Chapters of information that go into detail about many aspects you will need to know about in sewing to really handle a variety of projects including clothes, pillows, curtains, bags etc.... Chapters like Tools to use for different tasks, types of fabrics and what projects to use them for, the different types of threads and how to use them, Darts, facings, different styles of pockets and how to construct them, a great section on different stitches and hems was very informative, and not just machine stitches they also cover hand stitching and when to use one or the other. I don't like to hand stitch, but I see how it is necessary to sometimes use to make a job easier (like basting) or even if you need to mend or want to do a project by hand. I am an "advanced new sewer" I had ah-ha moments of..."so that's how they do that". I read through the reader's digest book and it is now in a corner somewhere. This book I will keep near my work area, because I know I will use it a lot to reference and check out possible how to's when I am working on a project.

I have only a little bit of experience and am looking to improve my skills, but am having to learn from the internet and from books - this book is brilliant. It gives clear, detailed instructions about all different aspects of sewing, eg how to measure a person's body correctly, different seams and their uses, ways to put pockets in, making collars of different styles, how to make ruffles and frills, pleats, the list goes on. There are also projects to make using the different techniques described, and the projects are actually quite nice! It's a massive book, and every page is packed with information.

Just the book I need. Has just started sewing my own clothing and this book comes handy. Clear fotos with colour!

Good for learning to sew garments.
