Sewing for the Fashion Design gives a hands-on approach. This workbook introduces the most current methods, techniques, terminology, and equipment used specifically in sample room sewing (as opposed to home sewing) — which simulates mass production procedures.

Using step-by-step instructions, illustrations, and varied projects, Sewing for the Fashion Design guides students through a full range of techniques — from the fundamentals of sewing to the more advanced procedures.
