March 22, 2008: This is a good book for a high school home economics class but not a good book for someone who wants more than basic instruction. One poster claimed that this book explains how to adjust patterns--it does not. This person was either reviewing another book or has no clue what is involved when you adjust a pattern. The book has good ideas but no substance. Unless you are an absolute beginning sewer, buy another book.

January 28, 2008: This is a really well-designed book, and it really gives you great starting points towards making your own clothes. Some women feel the patterns are too small, but not only does she explain how to customize patterns and adjust them to make them bigger or smaller to fit your frame, but honestly- being too obese to fit into normal sizes is not the book's fault. The majority of women can easily use the patters and if you need to add or remove inches she tells you how to re-draw them quite easily and even how to make your own patterns. Great book.
