Review: Great resource for Tailoring - The book arrived in good condition. It’s a useful resource to have as a student tailor. It came recommended by a tutor, and in preparation for my course in making a tailored jacket. I high recommend the book as it has lots of detailed information and images along with useful tips on the construction of the garment and what to pay attention to, such as, testing fabric for purpose, adjustments to pattern, problem solving, handy tools and equipment to have and how to use them correctly. The tailoring techniques I find very good. Review: A wonderful book for the advanced dressmaker. - Tailoring is the ability to take a thin fabric that is properly cut, interfaced and interlined, so that clothes looks as rich and confident as a much heavier fabric. This is an excellent book for dressmakers who wish to move on from advanced sewing and pressing techniques into the different but professional world of tailoring. It doesn’t cover pattern-making which is a whole other skill that takes years to learn, but it does provide ways of adapting patterns and making clothes fit better so they look professional; it bridges the gap between home-made and handmade; something I battle with all the time. This is not a book for a beginner but for people who already understand how to create good clothes that are properly cut, stitched, pressed, eased, interlined and under-stitched. It even explains the proper use of pinking shears: which exist to thin-down seams, (not to prevent an edge from fraying as I was taught but could never understand). Learn to steam-ease a waistband without making darts, learn three different methods of interfacing, learn how to cover poppers so they are less visible, discover how to thin down and under-stitch bulky seams. Fantastic photos, clear information and explanations of three different methods of garment construction throughout; dressmaking method, tailoring methods and an in-between level - all in all this is a really useful book. ## Features - Warning:Do not use near overhead power lines. - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 30,028 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 202 in Needlework & Fabrics 3,106 in Arts & Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 562 Reviews | ## Images ![Tailoring: The Classic Guide to Sewing the Perfect Jacket: The Classic Guide to Sewing the Perfect Jacket - 400 How-to Photographs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qtGQKGpHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great resource for Tailoring *by I***5 on 13 October 2024* The book arrived in good condition.

It takes you through the 3 primary methods of tailoring, provides advice on choosing the fashion fabric and lining and the other supplies and tools that you might need. It then guides you through preparing the pattern pieces, fabric and lining ready for sewing and then provides details on each step of making the garment such as how to create a patch or a welt pocket and how to attach the under and over collars. Everything is very well explained and illustrated. An absolute treasure of a book. One word of warning.
