PatternReview.com 1,000 Clever Sewing Shortcuts and Tips

Having sewn since I was a small child, and picked up nearly all my "tricks" from my mother, and her skills, I had to learn to fix my mistakes. Costly in both time and materials. Making mistakes--and fixing them-- is an ecellent teacher. The genius of this tips book, is that it allows the collective distillation of all of the folks who have influenced us over the years to share their tricks. In some ways, it is like throwing mud on the wall--a certain amount is going to stick, the rest falls away. I read many tips that I felt were spot on, and gave me really great insight. This book is for the neophyte, as well as the seasoned stitcher. It is an invitation to the sewing circle, to listen in to hear the hard won stories, and to share in the timeless joy of accomplishment of combining fabric, design, color, and skill to the creation of something special.
