Sewing Classic Clothes That Fit

This is the first basic sewing manual I have read that shows clothing construction for clothes my friends and I wear. This book covers the basics of sewing aimed at the young professional audience. Construction of sweats and t-shirts, as well as dressier clothes (such as that all important little black dress)are shown in both picture and descriptions. The fashions shown are current, up to date conservative styles with an English flare. There is a very informative section on wardrobe planning, and the classics for every wardrobe. The book is worth looking at just for the picture of ways to change the little black dress with accessories. The section on changing a pattern so it fits is detailed, but basic, suitable for the younger figure without major fitting challenges. I would recommend this book for the young adult learning to sew.
