Great value
Ive been eyeing this book for awhile as it appeared to be a great resource for sewing. I was going to buy it new for $25, and I am so glad that I looked on EBay first! Same book, used, excellent condition, and better than I hoped for content! Definitely a score for me and the environment by buying used!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Gebraucht

Great sewing books
These two books were so fun and full of tips and techniques. A good example: how to adjust a pattern if your tops always slip back so you have to tug it forward to fit right. Who knew you could fix it so easily? It even tells you the correct machine settings for dozens of fabrics. Just two great books!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Gebraucht

Lot of good information
Fabric Savvy contains a lot of good information that helps a lot when trying out fabrics you have never worked with before, and lots of other good advice. I bought a used book, which came to me in very good conditions and was happy about that too.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Gebraucht

Good for beginner sewists
This is a great book if you’re a beginner sewist. I’m an advanced sewist, so too basic for me, but that said, there is some interesting info here, and it’s nice to have in ones sewing library.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Gebraucht
