The first edition of the READER'S DIGEST COMPLETE GUIDE TO SEWING is actually considered one of the classic sewing instruction guidebooks of modern times. Subsequent revisions have not lived up to the reputation of the first edition which remains the most complete resource guide on the topic. Educators, craftspersons, sewers, tailors and homemakers all over the world have relied on this complete reference guidebook to provide them with essential information on all manner of sewing. Most sewing topics are presented in complete detail: how to work with patterns, construction of necklines and collars, pockets, sleeves, zippers buttons and fasters, techniques of tailoring and construction fundamentals (darts, tucks, pleats, smocking, ruffles, shrring and gathering).
