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 don't care too much that it is a total duplicate, but was like um...They didn't 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 1¢ 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 haven't had experience.Just same/same with the two.I included a picture to show what I mean. They didn't change anything really. The graphic designers just messed with the cropping and color setting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Is it worth it? (Sewing Edition) *by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2020* How to use this bookMaking Selections:The standards of tailoringSelecting a patternSelect a tailoring fabricTailoring Plaids and stripesInterfacings for TailoringSelecting LiningsSpecial Notions for TailoringTips and Tools:Cutting& Marking toolsPressing EquipmentTools &Stiches for handworkReally liked the small section on Pressing and think they should have added more photos to show the difference in pressing certain garments and what it looks like when completed accurately. This example only shows pockets but I do think it was overall a good example.The section on padstitching should have been more indepth for instance you are marking pad stitching lines but do not state how far apart or where to start and end. the tips section goes in a bit more but still needs definition, for example: what is a roll line?(Explained later in the book) How do you determine if the stitching lines should be 1/4 or 1/2?This section could have definitely used more instruction on how to actually complete the stitches. The tailoring tacks were well explained IMO.Before You Sew"Getting a good fitPreparing the PatternPreparing the Fabric Fitting is a very difficult subject and requires experience. I don't think this book did the subject justice by tackling just a few fit issues on a jacket. Excellent section on making interfacings from pattern pieces, the illustration accurately capture what should be done.Tailoring Techniques:Constructing the jacketTailoring a Notched collarTailoring a shawl collarTailoring PocketsTailoring SleevesTailoring HemsFinishing Techniques:LiningsPartially Lined JacketsTopstitchingButtons and ButtonholesResourcesIndexSo is it worth it? Yes. For the price this is a good beginners book. This is a very basic tailoring book. Due to not explaining the stitching In-Depth I had to remove a star as you will definitely have to locate other sources on how to accurately hand stitch if no previous knowledge is had, ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thorough, concise, complete. *by Z***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2019* Great book; for learning, for referencing, and for doing. But don't expect to buzz through this one and come out on the other side a tailor. Nope. If you're an advanced-intermediate sewist as I am, you'll need to take your time reading this book. It's chock full of information, valuable information from start to ending. It talks about fabrics, linings, tools, patterns, fittings, construction, …You get the picture.If there's one flaw in this book, it's that the photos (and there are many helpful photos), the photos all display the makings of a woman's jacket. I'm just saying that if you're tailoring a man's jacket/coat it would be nice to see.... But hey, they're just photos, the words and instructions throughout the book are all gender neutral. Trust me, you won't be disappointed w/ this purchase.Keep in mind, just as tailoring takes patience, learning to tailor takes patience too.
