OK， this would be a good book if: I was an office or professional worker and I wanted to sew。 If I was not a plus size and if I wanted to really learn techniques closer to haute couture than just simple every day clothes。 Sadly， I am not this person at all。 So while it was nicely illustrated and contained very good info， none of it pertained to me。
