Amazon.com Review

If you want your notched collars to lie smoothly like Ellen Tracy’s, your pants zippers to be as invisibly fused with the inseam pocket as Giorgio Armani’s, and your topstitched facings to have the impeccable look of Chanel, this is the book to have. Home sewers need and want exactly the kind of painstaking construction tips that Claire B. Shaeffer provides. She not only tells you how to add designer details such as those mentioned above, but also how to copy any garment, alter a sleeve, change seams to darts or folds (or vice versa), and make a basic pattern. This is one of the best intermediate sewing guides on the market.
