Via the DVD, Shaeffer will instruct readers in essential techniques such as making a bound buttonhole, converting darts to ease, creating a patch pocket, interfacing a hem, hand-stitching a fly zipper, and fitting sleeves.

Well written easy to follow
The supplier was accurate in providing the condition of the book, that helps with area of trust in purchasing from them again. The author provides clear information and details on constructing a tailored garment. I found that working through the text with pen and paper at hand was helpful. Particularly listing the tools that were required for the look I wanted to achieve.

Well packaged and promptly shipped...
All of Claire Shaeffer's sewing books are great !!! Well written and easy to understand, with an interesting insight as to the history of "Couture Sewing".. I only wish it did not involve so much "hand sewing", but that is an important aspect of couture..
