ISBN: 0896896943
From the title alone you know this book is going to be extremely helpful as a reference for any of your sewing questions. This book is the perfect resource for anyone that plans to make their own clothes or embellish their clothing. Knight offers easy-to-follow instructions with illustrations. Plus, since making clothes for different body types can be difficult, there's a body shapes guide to help navigate which kinds of styles will fit you best.
As a sewing guide, The Dressmaker's Technique Bible is great for beginner sewers who may be learning the techniques for the first time, or for sewers looking for a refresher. Learn how to apply a zipper, how to gather material at the waistband, how to hand embroider and more. From the beginning of the sewing process through the finishing touches, Knight leads the reader through all the necessary steps of creating beautiful handmade garments.

I just found the above book, "The Dressmaker's Technique Bible" on Amazon! I am new(ish) to the sewing world & I've had trouble making sense of all the steps & techniques that are used for dress patterns. Ordering this book right now. Excited 256 pages, spiral bound, & solid reviews. My goal is to have the skills and knowledge to create professional looking clothing for both my kids and myself. The Link to purchase the book (on Amazon) is below. I'm ordering a used copy for $6.90. All 3rd party books on Amazon have a $3.99 shipping fee. Not bad at all. :) I hope this is helpful to those that were looking for a download button thinking this was an eBook too download. Believe this is just a review. LINK TO PURCHASE = Link to book on Amazon (New or Used Options) - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0896896943?ie=UT == F8&keywords=The%20Dressmaker%27s%20Technique%20Bib == le&qid=1389995735&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1 Cheers & Happy Sewing!!

All I see is option to, "SAVE PATTERN" for above The Dressmaker's Technique Bible. Is this just a review to purchase the eBook elsewhere?

I would love to have this book. No matter how long you have sewn. You can still learn that new thing everyday. Even if we knew it along the way.
