The Dressmaking Technique Bible: A Complete Guide to Fashion Sewing Techniques

This is one of the most informative books I have found in a size that does not ,make my bag to heavy . The information on textile's is up to date, from silk to leather. The section on cutting sewing and caring for the fabric is full of information that I did not know at my age 63. Going back to college to study fashion decree I have found hard as I did not know the amount of studying I would have to do at home. Sp tp find this book is just great. The section on fabric manipulation has taught me a lot on modern fabrics how to use them and where they fit into the modern fashions of today.

Well after reading all of the reviews on here and other places i was a little dubious about gettin this book ..... But am so glad i did,it has up to date tecniques not like other books i have...IT ALSO HAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD THINK OF ABOUT DRESSMAKING and its goin to be a great reference book for me just what i wanted ..... I DO RECOMMEND!!!!!

I love the size of this book, but not the spring binding, which is a bit stiff and I'm worried that if constantly used the pages might eventually tear. However the paper quality is very good.The print is very small, so unless you have good glasses, you may need a magnifyer at times.The sections on textiles is good and quite informative. It suggests the best way to cut a particular fabric and what size and type of needle to use and why.There are many useful tips in the book. I bought it for quick reference, to use alongside other sewing books I have.

Great little book full of many techniques to get me started. I am new to dressmaking but I feel with this great little book that I can do it. A must buy.

This book is so well thought out and put together! I wanted to start making my own dresses, however I soon realised that the pattern I had purchased came with very little explanation and lots of terminology I didn't understand. This book explains everything in a simple and clear way, including making changes if the pattern sizing doesn't fit you're actual size.

This is a great book,compiled by someone who knows how to lay out a book that is easy to follow,( my Dad was a compositor,so I am fussy),and the whole book is great for instructions,I bought it because of an Amazon reveiw, thank you.

Recommended by the tutor of a recent dressmaking class I attended this little book has already proved its' value. Helpful hints, clear illustrations, I'm sure it will be a bible to which I shall return time after time.

Well named. This book is the perfect size to sit close to your machine. A quick reference spiral bound guide. Lorna always gives sound advice. There's a couple of things I might add to the techniques, but she covers most of what is required for the domestic machine and hand sewer.

It’s a very well put together book Reccomended😊

Quick delivery. Perfect condition! Love the book very helpful! A must have for sewing!!

This spiral bound 5"x7" hard cover hand book; is easy to read, carry and store. It is divided into 6 chapters, and has a textile directory in color that is very nice. All techniques, and embellishments are explained simply as well as the basic sewing processes showing hand stitches and machine stitches. I enjoyed reading it, and can transport it easily as a reference.

Good information with good pictures

Great book that covers many of your sewing questions. Very easy to follow instructions. I bought two copies, one for a gift.
