Illustrated Guide to Sewing: Garment Construction. Mastering and understand these sewing techniques will enable you to produce clothes that are of a professional quality.". Illustrated Guide to Sewing: Garment Construction - A Complete Course on Making Clothing for Fit & Fashion Description on back cover: "Expert Techniques to Take You from So-So Sewing to Professional Quality: Regardless of the fashion details, all clothes are meant to be worn on the body - to be moved in, sat in, breathed in, walked in - and this relationship of design to fit and movement remains the basic factor in their overall construction. The more you understand about how clothes are cut and shaped and how you can contribute to their fit and quality by using the proper sewing techniques, the more satisfying your sewing will become. "The Illustrated Guide to Sewing: Garment Construction will teach you how to make the building blocks of a great wardrobe - pants, blouse, skirt, dress, shirt - as well as learn how to choose and sew garments that flatter your figure and reflect your personal style. From learning how to take proper measurements, to choosing fabric and adjusting patterns, you will learn the basic order of construction as well as the details of assembly. Chapters on elements such as sleeves, collars, waistbands, hems, and more provide valuable insight on how each piece is created and joined to the whole. Mastering and understand these sewing techniques will enable you to produce clothes that are of a professional quality." The books' own description says it all! This book will doubtless prove a valuable resource for those interested in handmade clothes or fashion, regardless of skill level. While this book really is quite insightful and very thorough in ensuring the reader understands and can execute the necessary knowledge to create clothing on one's own, I find I've little to no time to invest in the hobby, and it'd be a real shame to let this book continue sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust. Hoping it finds a new home where it'll be better appreciated in for years to come!
