Chapter One introduces sewing tools and machinery (including industrial machines). It discusses how to work with patterns and explains cutting-out methods.

Hand-sewing techniques and basic seams are explored in Chapter Three. Techniques are demonstrated with step-by-step photographic guides combined with technical drawings.

A guide to making garment details and decorations, such as pockets, waistlines, and necklines, is found in Chapter Four.
