Good Sewing Guide for Historic LooksBy Kindle CustomerIf you like period clothing. vintage shopping. or designing your own clothes. this book will be helpful. This guide explains sewing and design techniques as well as providing patterns for basic clothing elements for several historic/period pieces. These basic designs can be customised adapted to provide several different interpretations of each... you could construct an entire wardrobe around these classic clothing elements.

More Modern than VintageBy Kindle CustomerIts more 60s-90s. though there are at least one pattern for each decade. The book is well written. Just wish it would have been more forthcoming with 1900-40s clothes.
