The Pattern Companion: Sewing

by Mary Morris, Joanne O'Sullivan, Sally McCann

This is for the seamstress who knows her way around a needle and thread, but wants more great projects and new techniques to add to her repertory. Anyone with some experience will find something to delight, instruct, challenge, and inspire--whether it's surmounting a frustrating fitting problem, finding the perfect present, or discovering an ingenious way to make use of vintage linens. Four information-rich sections feature fabulous accessories, eye-catching wome's clothing, handsome children's wear, and baby gifts and toys, while the introduction covers everything from tools to measurement charts. Sew an Asian-style eyeglass case, monogrammed memory album, jointed teddy bear, doll's clothes, bibs and burp cloths, a girl's floral dress, chenille jacket, and many other lovely things.

The designs are a bit dated but the personal measurements charts and tips for tailoring and adjustments are super helpful.
