Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Sewing: Step by step techniques for making clothes and home accessories (RD Consumer Reference Series)

I owned the first edition for many years until I gave it to my son at his request. I miss my original edition and was disappointed that it is no longer available but I am glad I purchased this newer version. It is nicely laid out, well-organized, well-written, full of good information, clear instructions, and accompanying illustrations that are very helpful. If you don’t have the good fortune to own the original version, I do recommend this newer edition as a comparable and suitable alternative.

Great reference book for any sewing level. This hardbound book will last forever. It's a strong well made book with print that is large enough to follow comfortably. I've always found that Reader's Digest makes excellent reference books that are thorough.

This book is surprisingly good. Lots of pictures and detailed explanations of clothes making like collars, pockets, dresses, pants…all kinds of stuff. Also good info on home decor too. I highly recommend this book….i find myself going back to it over and over.

The Updated Edition of the Reader's Digest "Complete Guide To Sewing" is very nice. Each chapter is CLEARLY defined and color coded. It follows a similar chapter to chapter review from the 1976 version. It suits my basic needs.

I like this book. It came in excellent condition, it's thick and heavy and full of helpful tips.

I WOULD SAY THIS BOOK COVERS INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED SEWING TECHNIQUES. A BEGINNER MAY WANT THIS GUIDE ALONG WITH AN INTRODUCTION TO SEWING BOOK. READERS DIGEST RARELY DISAPPOINTS. I DO RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

Good information, that is fairly easy to understand. It is worth the money.

I really like this book. The book has everything you need to know about where to start and how to continue to learn new things, such as pattern making. Great for beginners and for those advanced practitioners who want to take their sewing to the next level.
