Really good sewing guide
This book is good, especially if you want to know specifically about dressmaking, rather than sewing home products. It is very comprehensive about materials and items you will need when completing dressmaking projects. It is good for beginners who want to learn how to make clothes, as it provides full details about parts of a sewing machine, machine feet, overlocker and how to intepret patterns. A good buy.

This book covers everything you need to go from beginner to expert. I particularly liked the sections on taking measurements and tweaking paper patterns so that the finished garment fits perfectly. It's all explained very clearly with plenty of illustrations to follow. Highly recommended.
