I am very pleased with this book and really need to refer to it more often than I do. With tips that focus mainly on clothing, it tells you how to store fabrics, reinforce patterns, even what to do with leftover buttons. There is so much in this book that will really help if you want to become more proficient at sewing but just aren't sure where to start.

Some techniques I've never heard of anywhere else and some original ideas for sewers and non sewers alike.

Lots and lots of huge, color photographs in this book. Instructions are good. I was dissapointed in the lack of material covered in this book.
