- * I'd like to clarify when I said "the average fashion designer doesn't sew." Of course, most designers sew/know how to sew. Generally, sewing isn't something the average fashion designer does as part of their day-to-day job duties since they have sample makers. *
In this video, we will look through my collection of sewing books. I will also share my progress on the Vogue 7975 jacket.

Below are links to the books I believe are “must-haves” or additionally recommended. These are Amazon affiliate links, but you may also want to check Half-Priced Books to see if you can find them cheaper (if you don’t mind used books). Though, these books are also available used on Amazon too!
I have also added these books to my Recommended Sewing Resource page: www.sewcalsewci...

I love the Sandra Betzina and the Nancy Zieman books. I have a whole shelf of both of their books. They were my gurus. I still will sit down and read them over and over. Enjoyed seeing all of your collection
They make sewing and understanding it so much easier!
Amazing library
I’m looking for a serger, particularly beginner friendly, what one do you have? And I agree 100% I am a Craftsy/Blueprint junkie lol.
Craftsy/Bluprint is really great! I've learned quote a bit. Gotta love the Internet. If you want a beginner serger that is inexpensive then the brother 1034D is great! That is what I am currently using until I have enough money to upgrade to a BabyLock (probably, or a Janome). This Brother machine is also highly recommended among all of my sewing groups. If you don't care about money than a self-threading machine would be great! Most people that have a BabyLock adore their machine.
Sewcal Sewcialite oh yes my regular sewing machine is a Babylock Aria and I love her!!! I just checked my dealer and they have several sergers that were used in their classrooms but come with warranty and have been certified in good working order. The ones they have are the Eclipse DX. I’m honestly considering the Brother 1034D though for the price point and good reviews and will upgrade later if I feel I need to.
It's not a bad idea to get the Brother to see how you like serging. The dealer's used machine is also a great choice, too! I will have to check into something like that myself.
Good video. It was good to see inside so many books. Very informative. Thank you.
Thank you! I am glad it was useful :-)

You can never have to many books! or fabric! or patterns! or buttons! or zippers! or 😉 Just when I had gotten my book list whittled down, I filled it back up with several of your recommendations.
