However, I don’t read through them as much as I probably should, I just use them for reference when I need help or to learn something specific. My library is small and mostly comprised of draping and pattern making books, but I do love them!

I also like the humor and writing style of Barbara Emodi and my favorite tailoring classic is by the late Adele Margolis!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12961650184851278713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-81437718276913486682018-11-09T05:44:02.394-05:002018-11-09T05:44:02.394-05:00Yes Tany, I think the trims book is a must have to...Yes Tany, I think the trims book is a must have too.Faye Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781186043996633965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-38820175633752595332018-11-09T04:43:16.483-05:002018-11-09T04:43:16.483-05:00I also own most of Claire's books, including o...I also own most of Claire's books, including one less know about industrial sewing techniwues.
