A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

The signature style of the Singer Sewing Reference Series, this book is chock full of photographs. It also contains simple concise directions to make bridal and eveningwear. It is a great accompaniment to pattern instructions.

The essential guide

Have no fear about the bride who presents you with three or more patterns, blithely saying I want this skirt, on this bodice with that sleeve, and I want the whole bodice covered with shaped but, uncut lace. With this book by your side you can make as many changes to a pattern as you would ever need and never go wrong. Step by step pictures and clear instructions will help you through each of the elements of a dress - bodice, skirt, final construction and tell you when to apply a particular embellishing technique.The book also offers all you need to know about special details such as pressing and fitting. Throw out the pattern instructions, follow the book and kiss the bride.
