Customer Reviews
Kudos to Kenneth
Kudos to Kenneth King for once again demystifying the fine art of fashion sewing. Kenneth's ability to communicate via the written word, is top-notch and his diagrams and photos are clear and concise. If you have ever struggled to put in a zipper -- this is the book for you. His technique is worth the price of the book, plus it includes many other techniques that will kick up your sewing several notches. A must have for every sewer's/designer's library.
Tips and Tricks
I like the way this book is put together. It is easy to follow and what is wonderful are the tips and tricks on different fabrics and sewing stitches.
I do recommend it for the beginner.
Kenneth King Rocks
KK is an outstanding educator and he knows as much about sewing as anyone living (maybe even dead, too...). He is clear, concise, and knows what to say so you "get it". Photos are also to the point and lots of them. Highly Recommend all books and DVDs by KK.
