From Library Journal Webster, a lecturer and author of several sewing books and videos, knows her stuff. Her writing is insightful, and her advice on commercial patterns and sizing is wonderful. Unfortunately, her book suffers from several serious flaws. The special "lay flat hidden spiral binding" would never hold up to library use: this review's copy is already falling apart. There are insufficient illustrations, a cardinal sin for a how-to book; Webster instead makes blatantly commerical references to her many videos for further illustration. The organization of the text is poor, with no visible divisions between sections, and the example projects are mostly nonclothing items. Not recommended.- Karen Ellis, Baldwin Boettcher Lib., Humble, Tex.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
