A valuable book for home sewers. The words fast, streamlined, quick, direct, & rapid can apply to sewing when you're using the express approach. Zieman has organized the chapters of this book by wardrobe blouses, jackets, skirts & pants, reversibles, & accessories. For each piece, she provides plenty of helpful tips, with color illustrations to help you understand the techniques. Zieman is the producer & hostess of the popular show, "Sewing with Nancy," the longest-airing sewing program on television.
Nancy Zieman—author, designer, businesswomen, producer, blogger and national sewing authority—was the host of the popular show "Sewing With Nancy" which appeared on Public TV and online. Nancy was also the founder of Nancy's Notions, a direct marketing company, featuring sewing and quilting products. Nancy wrote numerous books on sewing and quilting, including her autobiography, "Seams Unlikely," which was co-authored by Marjorie L. Russell.
I wish that I'd had this book 30 years ago when I was sewing my work wardrobe. This would be good for anyone putting together a professiinal wardrobe on a budget & with some sewing experience, not for a total sewing beginner, unless you have someone to tutor you some.
