Summary: "Sewing is the process of constructing a garment either by hand or using a sewing machine. In this book you will start by learning the basics: how to choose tools; how to choose and use your thread; basic pressing techniques; and how to choose and use appropriate interfacings and linings. Basic techniques include seam and hem finishes, how to sew buttons and buttonholes, how to work with knit fabrics and, finally, finishing details including bindings and spaghetti straps, tailored pockets and zippers. Each lesson in the book is illustrated in meticulous detail in a series of step-by-step photographs accompanied by charts, diagrams, and photos from the catwalk."--Provided by publisher.
