  • Home sewing Couture Techniques:

    Great book, must be read through a few times to get clear technique understanding, but very useful for any budding fashion designer or budding home sewers who loves making there own outfit, just to be somewhat more individual or just to Glamourize or update a Outfit by a Couture sewing technique, I have found it very useful, I hope you do too.
