I have sewn since I was in my 7th grade home ec. class. I liked being able to create and sew my own and my sisters' clothes. I took a tailoring class in high school, which really paid off later when we were "poor" and I used those tailoring skills to make a suit for my four-year-old son and used the scraps for his 3-year-old brother when they were in my youngest sister's wedding. They are grown, and I have recently retired (although I have gone back for another Master's degree), and would love to have an up-to-date reference for the sewing I have returned to. Thanks for this opportunity to win such a comprehensive book.

I love this simple classic look. How much fabric should I purchase?
