The result is a superior guide on creating custom clothing., "Sewists of all levels who are curious about creating fashionable wardrobe pieces from start to finish will be overjoyed to find this book by Jewell, a well-known pattern designer. Beginning with explanations of sewing basics, fabrics, and must-have tools, the book offers tips and tricks that those new to the craft will appreciate. Experienced sewists can benefit too from the book's answers to questions they might have had during other projects. Jewell reminds readers that any body type can look chic and well put together in any style if the pattern is customized to their shape, and she strives to instill confidence in crafters nervous about drafting their own patterns. A welcome addition to sewing technique and pattern books."-- Library Journal

- c***t (921)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
