If I was going to try to re-create any of my clothes, I would definitely look for this book again. I'm probably not. I am starting to try to learn to sew again, and this book has a few little tidbits of information that might be useful to the beginning seamstress. The instructions were very clear, and the book had plenty of pictures to illustrate the text.
