Super introductory, not much for seasoned or advanced sewists. Probably a helpful tool if you’re new to sewing

This was fine and there were definitely useful things for me. But I was expecting a guide to make clothes without patterns, and there just isn’t much there. And I don’t know if that’s because there isn’t more to know or the book just didn’t go in depth about anything.

Very basic. Great for starting out when you know basically nothing!

This book was fine, but I think its title promises too much. It's only 160 pages! It's much too cursory and short to actually guide a beginner sewist, and it doesn't go in-depth enough on anything to be that useful to a more experienced one either. I did find some sections interesting, particularly the critique of different sewing tools like a serger or a dress form that I've always wondered if I should buy.

Lovely book that is perfect to for plus size and/or disabled people to learn to alter and sew. And btw, the answer is no I do not want to passively accept the Industrial Capitalist System.
