Old edition 9781409384632 Review: Arrived the next day - It arrived the next day. I ordered it the night before and it came the next day. That never happens. The book is amazing too. It has everything I need to learn altering and making clothes. It is very well written and easy to understand. I can't wait to get started. Highly recommend this book. Nothing like going old school when you need to learn something. Books are good and this book is hard back so won't rip easily. We'll impressed. Review: Molto fotografico - Acquistato usato in ottime condizioni, confermo lo stato e la corretta indicazione da parte del venditore. All’inizio ci sono tre sezioni generali che spiegano le nozioni di base relative a strumenti, tessuti e spiegazioni tecniche sui cartamodelli, per poi proseguire con un’ampia sezione relativa alle tecniche di cucito, alla costruzione di tutti i principali indumenti, con fotografie numerosissime e molto dettagliate. È interamente in inglese, ma le foto aiutano la comprensione.
