What a great and informational video. I studied fashion textile in college and the book we made for ourselves is much like the book you showed, however, I'm sure it has professional descriptions that could be very handy. We basically put in our interpretation of what we thought the fabric was. I will most likely add that fabrics book to my arsenal. I love how you show how real sewing is! Love you, love your show!

Aysha dahlin i love your channel and i watch all your vids faithfully. i just got into sewing (i am 63 years old and i haven't sewn anything since high school and i always wanted to get back into it) my boyfriend brought me a sewing machine for christmas and i been sewing ever since and i love it! to me, Mistakes are just "happy accidents" to help you learn and discover a little bit more about your creative abilities and teach you patience in yourself and guide you in the right direction of true craftmanship. you learn your craft by doing and making mistakes. and i tell you, doing this has made me addicted to sewing and i love it!

I have most of the books you have discussed. I would recommend two books for improving your sewing and serving Serger Secrets by Mary Griffin, and Secrets for Successful Sewing: techniques for mastering your sewing machine and serger by Barbara Weiland. Both books are available on Amazon. I often buy the more expensive/ out of print copies of books from www.abebooks.co.uk as even with postage from the USA they can be cheaper than buying new in the UK. Both books have multiple techniques with advice on sewing machine feet, stitch settings (stitch width and length). Any sewing book that was published by Rodale Press is worth looking at. For fitting I would also recommend Create the Perfect Fit by Joi Mahon, especially if you have a large bust. Dressmakers handbook of couture sewing techniques by Lynda Maynard is also an inspirational book.
@susan571 4 жыл бұрын
Do you have a reference for a good fitting book that targets pants, especially the lower part of the leg (e.g., calf)? I noticed that Palmer/Pletsch doesn't touch that part.
