Sandra Betzina, a renowned expert in teh field, believes the shift from button-sewing novice to "power sewer" can be achieved with a minimum of fuss. This book does just what the title implies, leading the reader through the successful assembly process for each of a series of garments.
Starting with fabric selection, in each chapter Betzina addresses pattern fitting, construction, and finishing. She includes instructions for adding special garment details. For example, in the pants chapter she offers a variety of pockets, shows how to add a lining and choose one of four zipper options, and demonstrates a method of eliminating the waistband altogether.
