Library Journal Review

The author outlines an 18-step theory, for sewing any garment, that is intended to eliminate the need to consult direction sheets. The theory may work for the majority of garments, but many pattern direction sheets offer helpful hints for assembling the pieces peculiar to the specific garment. A better suggestion would be to use the author's method with the direction sheets. Nor is the theory flawless; for example, some of the instructions for putting in sleeves are inconsistent. Also, the book is incomplete in some areas; for example, there are no directions for putting in an invisible zipper. Nevertheless, the book has many good points; the large detailed illustrations are easy to follow and are accompanied by clear instructions. This would be a useful text for a beginning sewing class, and the experienced would find it a useful reference tool. Large public libraries may wish to buy, but smaller public libraries can skip.

Booklist Review

Through the use of clear-cut, concise instructions and excellent diagrams, the author has developed a well-illustrated, comprehensive guide for home sewers who want to professionalize their techniques. High school students can benefit from the book as a reference source; however, they may find it confusing if industrial techniques are stressed in classrooms. A glossary of sewing terms is included.
