it is a book written simply, accurate, I bought it for my 14 year old daughter who interresse much sewing, fashion, she wants to create, and she had never had the chance to find a book as precise, the images are of great use to her - she is dyslexic - she has created her first dress, she is very proud, she was wrong in size but this is only the beginning, she will get there quickly, it became his "bible", she tries different points, different techniques she knows their NSName now she discussed with a seamstress friend, I recommend this book to young and less jeunens who want to experience everything that one can do with a aiguile, wire and tissu..bon courage everyone
