Is it worth? (sewing edition)

Is it worth it? Yes, this is one of those books that people love to get and will have quite a bit of shelf life. I love the fact that David shows pictures of actual garments with tags to show what pieces they are made of. The setting of the book is everything I wanted for good shirtmaking. With all that has been said. This book is not intended for beginners. This book is for those who already sew, who are familiar with sewing terminology and the basics of pant construction, but have not made many pants before. ). But if you're a beginner and want to sew pants, I won't hesitate to pick up this book (as well as a basic design book). It will help you a lot and have very good durability. Welt pockets are not exactly easy to construct and I wish David had put a little more thought into how they are sewn. I think some of the illustrations were missing a clear indication of how to assemble the welt pocket. If you don't know how to sew welt pockets, you won't learn it here. The only thing I think this book could do better is the crotch area adjustment section :( Which can be a pain. I understand why he skipped this even though it's such a tricky fit area and I prefer that he leave him.then haphazardly explain how to get the right fit.I also wish he had listed good fabrics for tailoring pants instead of writing a whole section about it - that would have been helpful.I do have one though Point deducted because my book didn't match The CD said internet access was available but when I went to the website it said the website was blocked Would I have bought this book without the additional content Yes!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
