Book Reviews of The Complete Book of Sewing New Edition

Book Review: Almost the best you can get...
Summary: 4 Stars

...I just wish it had contained photos of the finished product for each of the skills it teaches. I don't know where the authors would have put them, since there are so many photographs in this book; I simply wish I could have seen all the buttonholes on the coat, the finished skirt, etc. That said, I think this is indeed THE book to have around for reference. The balance between hand sewing and machine sewing techniques is very good.
