Want to up your sewing game and learn techniques you won’t find in beginner sewing books or pattern instructions? Then this vlog is for you! As a fairly advanced sewist, I usually feel unmoved by beginner sewing books at this point, since I’m more interested in particular skill developing techniques rather than learning how to sew together a garment.
So I’ve dug deep into my wast sewing book library and picked out six books that have all been game-changing when it comes to improving my skills and get a better understanding of all the finer details that go into sewing. Maybe you can even add them to a last-minute-gift-wishlist 🙂
