Sew Your Own Wardrobe: More Than 80 Techniques

Very thorough from beginner to more advanced techniques.well illustrated, too.

Im a self taught seamstress. This book is perfect for any detail and knowledge that I may not be aware of. I am very satisfied with the contents of this book. Lots of pictures and descriptors.

If you are new to sewing or if you just need some brushing up tips and haven’t done it for a while…this book is for you. Excellent quality and covers everything you need to know about sewing.

I bought this to learn fitting and try to up my game but this book is amazing and will pay for itself immediately. On top of well displayed steps there's a wonderful website where I can print out a PDF and assemble skirts, bodices, dresses...in my size. If you're familiar with PDF's these will be the best ones you've ever worked with. Impossible to line up lines wrong by even a millimeter and effortless. I printed out my skirt pattern then went to the chapter on to sew it up. It's perfect. I also applied needed fitting to the pattern before cutting fabric because of the help of this book. A PDF can cost up to $15.00 and it still would not guarantee that the sellers size chart is accurate. The pattern in this book I Know has accurate size chart. I'm blown away with their web site, support and information in this book. Wish I'd gotten it years ago. What's a PDF? You click on the size/pattern you find on their website,(the book tells you how/where to measure yourself to find your size) print it out, place the pages together like laying tiles, tape and cut it out. Wonderful and cheaper than buying MFGR patterns from the big names like Simplicity . It's the perfect book for beginners or intermediates like myself.

This book is a fantastic resource and reminder for novices. If I forget the sewing techniques I've learned, I browse through the pages for inspiration.

This is an excellent reference for when you’re starting out sewing and making your own clothes. If you’re like me and relatively new, I think you’ll really find the book useful. Just read the patterns twice as there’s not always a full explanation to what you need to do and why.

Good for beginners, pretty standard patterns though. I usually get something more advanced with Burda.

Great book! Highly recommended!
