Recenzii

Chelsey's passion for teaching comes through vividly in this book. Her knowledge of various alteration techniques will aid anyone learning to sew or complete clothing alterations. There is a growing trend to reduce textile waste by altering or repairing the clothing that would otherwise end up in a landfill. If you would like to contribute to that trend then this book is step one for you.
A long-awaited and very welcome addition to my shelf. Chelsey Byrd Lewallen does a masterful job of providing the depth and the detail of repairs, without making assumptions of the reader's skill level or ability, making this an incredibly accessible text for all levels.
