Dressmaking Step by Step: Classic Patterns and Essential Techniques for a Range of Beautiful Garments Hardcover – 2 Feb. 2015

really good book although I am struggling to download the patterns as there is no link. I have found a couple on Etsy now though so that is great.Book is clear and informative. An investment for my sewing plans

This is a great basic sewing book for beginners. Typical of DK in that it is a quality publishing, good pictures you learn as you progress through the book. It explains many of the terms and illuminates the dark art of using a sewing machine. I would recommend this book.

Absolutely brilliant book. Clearly explained and very well illustrated. Perfect for all starters and plenty for the experienced to learn from too. Thoroughly recommend it.

Quick delivery. Very detailed book on dress making especially for a beginner.Has lots of patterns, even one for trousers which I didn’t expect.Bought it as a gift for someone who loves sewing and she’s thrilled with it.

great book(great price) full of ideas, will keep me busy over winter months, thank you

I like this book, some great tips. I wouldn't say it is for a beginner however. If you have some experience with sewing terminology then this is a great book but I found it hard to follow in some places. I am an absolute beginner with this though.I could not believe how fast this came!I ordered it one evening when I got home from work, when I got back from work the next day it was waiting for me!so thank you for that!!

Great book for a beginner.

Haven't made any items yet, but patterns easy to download. Arrived very quickly.
