Book Reviews of Tailoring: The Classic Guide to Sewing the Perfect Jacket
Book Review: Great resource for experienced sewers
Summary: 5 Stars
Tailoring: The Classic Guide to Sewing the Perfect Jacket is an excellent resource for any home sewer seeking to improve tailoring skills. The many color illustrations make instructions exceptionally clear and easy to understand. Commercial patterns just do not provide enough accurate information to achieve a professional result in tailored jacket construction, but this book makes that possible.
Summary of Tailoring: The Classic Guide to Sewing the Perfect Jacket
The well-tailored jacket, always in style, is one of the most challenging, popular, and satisfying sewing projects. Tailoring is the classic guide to the required techniques. Step-by-step instructions and close-up photographs help hobby sewers get professional results. Tailoring covers all three tailoring methods (custom or hand, machine, and fusible) and the complete process from fabric selection to finishing touches. There are detailed instructions on adjusting the pattern for proper fit, which is critical for good results. Tailoring is all about impeccable details, and Tailoring shows how to achieve them, from the roll of the collar to a perfect pocket.
