This is such a nice book but then i should not be surprised as DK have always had a great reputation.Really informative for a beginner or even if you want to learn more. Pages are clear and cover so much.Good quality too.

This is a great reference book and just what I was looking for. As a beginner I find instructions in dressmaking patterns can be confusing, so I bought this to support that and it is just right for my needs. Has a good section on tools and fabric types (fabric can be confusing). A good section on basic functional stitches, seams and hems. Large section on altering patterns and then the techniques on garment construction. Mostly aimed at dressmaking. Lots of step by step pics making it easy to see what to do. This is definitely a reference book, not a project book, but does have some projects you can do if you wish. If you are looking for a project book this might not be for you. If you are looking for a craft book, this may not be for you. If you want to know techniques to construct garments and alter them for a better fit, this is definitely a must buy.

I wanted a ‘how to…’ book to learn basic sewing techniques and this is perfect. Covering a huge array of topics there’s everything you need to sew. It’s really well laid out and describes everything in clear plain English. There are helpful pictures that show you what is being described which is really useful when you’re trying something new. This book is really good value for money and would make a great gift for someone starting sewing.

It is super informative and I highly recommend.

Fantastic book

R.A.m. · 10 October 2023

At least for a rookie like me this is a fantastic book, it covers everything, and it is all described in both text and clear color photos, they explain all kinds of sewing subjects and after each one you get an example of how to use it in the real world. They explain different kinds of fabrics, how to interpret a sewing pattern, how to use different seams, how to use interfacing and on it goes, you can find pretty much anything in this book, again a fantastic book.

Un sogno per qualsiasi autodidatta

L.M. · 30 August 2022

Il libro rispecchia gli argomenti trattati nel famoso Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Sewing, ad eccezione di pochissimi temi particolari del tipo come rivestire un divano (ho l'edizione del 1978 e li ho comparati pagina per pagina); questo per dire che è completissimo e molto ricco anche nella selezione delle tecniche. In più, anche rispetto al suo antenato nobile, ha delle foto enormi ad alta risoluzione che sono il sogno di qualsiasi autodidatta. E' sempre aperto sul mio tavolo da lavoro. Meraviglioso

Great for beginners

L.T. · 3 October 2020

Have lots of basic info. But makes one too dependent on patterns

Packed with Sewing techniques

M. · 3 May 2018

Covers everything you could possibly have a question about with sewing with very clear illustrations. I take several of Alison’s classes on Craftsy.com but when I have a quick question about a technique it is wonderful to grab her book and reference it when I don’t have time to search a video. I can’t think of anything I don’t like about the book except that it’s very heavy but that’s to be expected. It’s packed so full of information!

Great book for beginners!

A. · 26 April 2020

As a beginner, I have been overwhelmed with the information that can be found online and wanted to find a comprehensive guide about sewing. Before buying it, I have been pretty much self-taught and have tried to work on some easier patterns (which would not go as expected).After buying this book, I haven't started a new project without looking into how elements of the pattern should be done. In my opinion, this book is a great beginner book that shows step-by-step how to achieve certain techniques.I am very happy that I bought it, and would without a doubt recommend it to other beginners.If you're more skilled, this might be a little to basic for you, but you can still use it as a guide on how to achieve certain things as the book is split into beautiful sections that make it easy to find what you need.
