A bible for tailoring and sewing

I have been a student of Adele Margolis and have used the "Complete Book of Tailoring" with every garment That I have made. It is a fabulous reference for even the most proficient sewer and designer of fashion for technique. She discusses the do's and don't's in the use of fabrics, styles,and methods in the construction of a garment from inside out, whether it be short cuts or intricate methods. This book is a wonderful text for novice tailoring but with some background in sewing. A must for the serious sewer. I miss her classes but use her books constantly: they are falling apart! Minda G.
