This book is fantastic for anyone who loves sewing and designing their own clothes, but may be a little sloppy in some of the details. It has very easy to read instructions, with plenty of illustrations to clarify points of detail. It contains plenty of information on pattern cutting, altering, finishing touches and copying existing garments. I found this book to be a fantastic reference and really helps sharpen up the look of home sewing projects.
