About this product

Product Information

Packed with professional techniques and tips, The Dressmaker's Handbook of Couture Sewing Techniques takes the mystery out of the sewing and finishing techniques that many dressmakers assume are either extremely difficult or are only for professional fashion designers. Fashion designer and expert sewist Lynda Maynard tackles each professional technique with clear instructions in simple step-by-step stages. Once these skills are understood, sewists will embrace their dressmaking projects with more confidence and the ability to create chic, refined looks. The Dressmaker's Handbook of Couture Sewing Techniques unlocks the door to stunning results with better shaping, simpler construction methods, and professional finishing touches. Lynda also explains several seemingly difficult secrets, from making bindings and finishing for hems, armholes, and necklines to underpinnings and structuring techniques. Plus, she teaches how to master finishing touches from textured stitches to couching and applique. A complete guide to the fabrics suited to each technique and inspirational fashion photography are also included.

  • Too many ideas to try at once

    The book is set up with an illustrated table of contents. Chapter groupings for bindings and finishes, design details both on display and tucked away, backings and underlining for specific fabrics as well as a section on luxury fabrics and how to use them.

  • Excellent Resource for Serious Seamstress's

    This covers advanced sewing construction techniques that further my knowledge of garment sewing which I find lacking in the digital age. In fact, I think the only other volume that comes close is the Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Sewing from 1978.
