It is a decent book. and it was a decent book when it was published as the Singer Sewing Manual for Tailoring.I needed it for my workrooms. so I dont care too much that it is a total duplicate. but was like um...They didnt actually update ANY of the pics. what they did was color shift them so that the rich greys. fuchsias. and teals of the late 80s early 90s are now instagrama-fied. No problem. but you can get that Singer book for about 1cent; and a couple of bucks shipping. so do that instead.Here are the ISBN numbers I am comparing:This: 978-1-58923-609-7 or 1-58923-609-2That: 0-86573-241-8 or 0-86573-242-6So just be aware. decent book for almost all home sewers who want to get into tailoring and havent had experience.Just same/same with the two.I included a picture to show what I mean. They didnt change anything really. The graphic designers just messed with the cropping and color setting.31 of 31 people found the following review helpful. first jacket success with this bookBy ncj86I recently completed my first tailored jacket using this book for guidance and it came out great. I imagine that if I had followed the pattern instructions the final product would not have been as nice. This book walks you through every step- from interfacing selection to buttonholes (bound and machine). collar tailoring (notched and shawl. with custom. machine. and fusible methods) to lining insertion (by hand or machine). There are tons of different techniques presented. all illustrated with photographs and descriptive captions. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering making a tailored jacket for the first time or someone who wants to learn tailoring techniques beyond typical pattern instructions.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
