Couture Sewing: Making Designer Trims Paperback – September 20, 2016

I own quite a few sewing books, but this truly exceeded expectations. It does not have information on creating trims (I would recommend "Fine Embellishment Techniques: Classic Details for Today's Clothing" if you are looking to create your own trims). What it does provide is detailed instructions on how to choose and apply trims. The DVD is well made and I really enjoyed watching the author work. It includes over 2 hours of instruction - making the book price suddenly seem like an amazing deal!

After all these years, I still have questions that this book answers

I am really enjoying this book and DVD. The reviews from other customers convinced me to purchase this book and I am glad I did. The photos are very good. The DVD is just great. The author demonstrate the techniques very smoothly. Ms Shaeffer collection of Chanel clothing is just outstanding.

The media could not be loaded. Very good

Claire Shaeffer is an incredible teacher of couture sewing. She has great illustrations and shows you step by step instructions. In this book, she shows how to make couture-type trims for clothing that are true to couture. I highly recommend this book if you want to learn about trims.

Very detailed instruction and a great dvd is included. I found this book to be very informative. A great read.

Look that. Beautiful cover it isn't? But wait until you get inside. So rich book! Plenty of explications and details to embellish any peace of cloth. Believe me and try it!

This book was exactly what I expected and like other books by Clair Schaeffer it was written with clear instructions and lots of photographs.
