I read in one of the messages which sewing books were

considered to be of great help.  I think “Power Sewing” and

“Fabric Savvy”, both written by Sandra Betzina are some

of my favorite books on sewing.  I have another book which

concerns serging.  This book is good but sometimes a little

hard to follow.  I have taken courses given by Sandra and

have found them to be of great help, especially when it comes

to fitting the patterns to one’s own body.  She has a special

system for fitting.  I found her explanations to be very

clear.  She gives all kinds of tips and some shortcuts.  I

enjoyed her seminars tremendously and hope to take some

more when they are scheduled.
