Review: Wonderfu, inspirational, practical reference book - I am an advanced beginner seamstress and want to improve the finish of the clothes I make for myself. That is the main reason I bought this book, but I never expected it to be such a joy to read. I went through it from cover to cover yesterday (and there is a LOT of reading in there) and found every page to be informative and well written. I have learned so much about couture clothing and general design in just 24 hours! I'm really excited about trying out some of the techniques Claire highlights. I've already used some of her Vogue patterns which include couture and non-couture techniques, and I always shied away from the couture options because they seemed so intimidating. That won't be the case any more! I'm sure this book will always be a valuable addition to my reference library as well as a joy to read in itself. Anyone who has even a passing interest in improving their skills should get themselves a copy as soon as they possibly can. Review: Couture Sewing Techniques - Revised and Updated - If you only ever purchase one advanced sewing book then this is the one for you. I have been working with fabrics for over 50 years and this book is just fantastic. I never owned a copy of the previous book but if it is anything like this Revised and Updated version, then I have missed out on an excellent purchase. The book is clearly written and assumes that you have passed the basic sewing mark. Beautifully illustrated with colour photographs and line drawings. A must buy for all sewers who aim for perfection. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 45,098 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 469 in Needlework & Fabrics | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (272) | | Dimensions | 20.45 x 1.65 x 25.4 cm | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 1600853358 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1600853357 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 240 pages | | Publication date | 7 May 2011 | | Publisher | Taunton | ## Images ![Couture Sewing Techniques, Revised & Updated - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71y9XX5f0XL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderfu, inspirational, practical reference book *by J***H on 7 June 2011* I am an advanced beginner seamstress and want to improve the finish of the clothes I make for myself.

The photos and illustrations are very helpful in combination with the written instructions. The instructions are well written in detail, which are lacking in commercial pattern instructions. By reading the first two chapters and in specially the Art of Hand Sewing, one learns the importance of using these stitches which cannot be done with a sewing machine. In the end, your garment will have that quality of professionalism and fit. In comparison to other general sewing books, this one shows details for fitting, shaping with pressing and using interfacings, and design alternatives. It includes all outer garments with chapters on Edge Finishing, Closures, and Pockets. I will read through a section or two of this book before I start a new garment, even before I choose the pattern or fabric. This enables me that start with confidence in the project to see it completed. I am an avid sewer, I prefer sewing my own clothes, and I highly recommend this book to all. ## Frequently Bought Together - Couture Sewing Techniques: Revised and Updated - The Art of Manipulating Fabric - Couture Sewing: Making Designer Trims --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/48389974-couture-sewing-techniques-revised-and-updated](https://www.desertcart.es/products/48389974-couture-sewing-techniques-revised-and-updated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
