[Lindser · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really good reference book for learning techniques to sew and finish knits. Full of great photos and easy to follow instructions.

[Micha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great base knowledge. Loved the expandable pockets and cuff finishes sections. Unfortunately much of this is outdated but was still ultimately a deeply inspiring and titillating read.

[Judi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Everything from bathing suits to winter outerwear covered in detail from construction, fitting and tricks of the trade. The examples may be dated but the basics remain relevant.
