Product Overview
The inspiration for Power Sewing Toolbox began as a small box of tips that renown sewing expert Sandra Betzina had jotted down to help her students over the years. None of these tips were ever found in pattern instructions or in any of her other books Since she'd been sewing for over fifty years - teaching and fitting many different students - she realized her collection of tips on different aspects of sewing would make a great reference book. Sandra Betzina wanted the book to make sense to all levels of sewers and to be very easy to refer to. You open this book to a tip and it will lay flat for easy reference. The tips are written in a very straightforward and clear way with detailed photos and step by step instructions. There is a DVD included to demonstrate some of the more in-depth techniques. Sewing Tip Chapters Include Timesavers, Fit, Marking, Needle and Thread, Seams, Details, Pockets, Closures, Topstitching, Notions, Equipment and Storage. Sewing Technique Chapters Include Creating Shape with Bulky Fabrics, Balancing a Pants Pattern, Pleat Magic, Inside Story of a Jacket, Seam Embellishments, Creative Sleeve Detailing, Front Stay and Pocket All in One, Snap Success, Shaped Welt Buttonholes, Flawles Results with Invisible Zippers About Sandra Betzina Sandra Betzina, the power behind Power Sewing, is the author of eight books.
