Description
This new edition of a popular tailoring guide is double in size, adds colour photography, and features new and speedier techniques that embrace fusible interfacing and an all-machine-sewn lining technique used in ready-to-wear.
More than 700 photos and illustrations accompany instructions detailed enough to allow a beginner who has never taken a sewing class to glide through chapters on patterns and fabrics, proper cutting and marking, methods for pressing and seam finishing, and how-tos that ensure a perfect fit.
The choice and tailoring of collars, buttonholes, pockets, and mitered back vents are shown to create individuality and flair, while special sections provide information about stripes and plaids, men's jackets, finishing touches, and helpful tools and notions.
Explore the innovative approaches in Jackets for Real People by Susan Neall, Marta Alto, and Pati Palmer, and enhance your sewing skills with expert guidance and comprehensive resources.
