Book Review: Teach Yourself Visually Fashion Sewing


Teach Yourself Visually Fashion Sewing

AUTHOR: Carole Ann Camp


Though I call myself a beginner, I actually am not a total beginner. The last time I touched a sewing machine (before I seriously started this hobby) was probably in 1994.


I was in high school. Still, I have been pretty familiar with sewing because my mum sews most of our (my 2 sisters and I) going-out outfits. This book helps provide me with basic knowledge of bits and pieces of information.

I started to learn more about sewing in 2012. I learn best with a book because of convenience. There are things I already knew so I did not need a book to teach me from scratch. Bought this one so that I can easily refer to it by a certain topic I need help on as and when necessary. There are step-by-step photos and drawings to make for easier explanations.

There are 12 Chapters in this book and they are:
  • Technique Review
  • Sewing from a Pattern
  • Find the Right Fit
  • Hems and Hemlines
  • Waistline Treatments
  • Necklines, Armholes and Straps
  • Skirts
  • Pants
  • Tops
  • Dresses
  • Recycle, Refurbish and Repair
