At the time I ordered this book I was designing a mans vest and the detailed illustration on piped pockets was very helpful and easy, so I decided to pipe the buttonholes also and added a few other details. Your clothing can look polished and top notch everytime, when you look great, you'll feel great too. Sign up for Kenneth's classes at: I have both Cool Tricks & Cool Techniques and much prefer this later version If you're interested in ideas for beautiful clothes, this is it!. It's more organized, laid-out better, which makes it easier to read and understand2009-02-14 Rating 5. This is not the happy-hands-from-home manual, it is beautiful embellishment techniques that can take a ho-hum garment to a "Wow" show-stopper, without orbiting Mars - IOW, you don't look weird, you just look fabulous. If you're a crafter who wants to do something more with your artistic talent and learn some high-fashion tailoring techniques at the same time, this is a great book for you. I'm usually blase about these sewing how-to books as I know most of the techniques, but that is not the case here. Kenneth is very generous with his ideas and creativity. The only thing wrong with this book, is you do not fully experience his enthusiasm and passion for sewing - which is what I got with one of his workshops. Kudos to Kenneth King for once again demystifying the fine art of fashion sewing Kudos to Kenneth. Kenneth's ability to communicate via the written word, is top-notch and his diagrams and photos are clear and concise2009-02-02 Rating 5. 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. I like the way this book is put together Tips and Tricks. It is easy to follow and what is wonderful are the tips and tricks on different fabrics and sewing stitches2009-01-19 Rating 3.
