Be aware thought that this is a book still in print so this is most likely illegal. That and pirating the works of authors who publish books relating to our hobby may end up discouraging others from publishing future volumes.

probably but the account that the link goes to belongs to someone in Europe and I don't think posting a link on here would be illegal, please correct me if that is wrong, so if there is anything brought up about copyright issues it would have nothing to do with us.
But enjoy it while it is there

I've owned this book for 3 years, and it's useful...but
Some things to be careful about...
1/ Its not suitable for novice sewers.
2/ Her aproach to sleeve cutting is (in my opinion) modern, she uses shaping and sleeve heads where extant garments show gussets and inserts. Also some of the rotations are modern. Be careful of making armscyes too big.
3/ The book is an intro to generic styles and techniques. Treat it as an intro to period sewing and do your own research based on what you find in there.
Other than that its a dam fine effort and I support Alisdair's comments, we need to support people like Sarah Thursfield by paying for their books, not the (no doubt well intentioned) pirates who have robbed her of her royalties. |
