Three Must-Read Couture Sewing Books
A look at three great books on couture sewing.
Cool Couture: Construction Secrets for Runway Style
Written by the highly esteemed fashion designer and sewing expert Kenneth King Cool Couture: Construction Secrets for Runway Style is a great read.
In Cool Couture Kenneth King shares several wonderful tips, tricks, and techniques to help the home sewer create couture creations worthy of the runway. All of the techniques King discusses in the book come with step-by-step instructions that are offered both in text and in photos.
In Cool Couture King discusses several topics of interest for home sewer that include tips for choosing the right fabrics, how to insert piping, and how best to use zippers.
The only downside I see to Cool Couture is that several pages of the book, including photos, is the exact same information that can be found in his first book Design Techniques.
High Fashion Sewing Secrets: A Step-by-Step Guide to Sewing Stylish Seams, Buttonholes, Pockets, Collars, Hems, and More
High Fashion Sewing Secrets: A Step-by-Step Guide to Sewing Stylish Seams, Buttonholes, Pockets, Collars, Hems, and More is written by Claire B. Shaeffer, and is chock full of great couture sewing techniques.
In High Fashion Sewing Secrets readers will find step-by-step directions for a wide variety of couture sewing techniques that include how to create piped pockets, bias covered seams, and coat lining techniques. The book also features a complete section on how to draft and alter patterns.
While most couture sewing books are targeted more for the advanced sewer than the beginning sewer High Fashion Sewing Secrets has quite a bit of information in it that will apply to the beginning sewer, while advanced sewers will still find the techniques in the book quite challenging.
Baby Couture: Sew Stylish Fashions for Infants and Children
If you are looking to make your little one couture clothes than Baby Couture: Sew Stylish Fashions for Infants and Children, written by Samantha McNesby, is the perfect sewing book for you.
Baby Couture features great projects that will appeal to both beginning and advanced sewers alike. The patterns in Baby Couture are easy to follow with clear directions and plenty of photos.
