As a beginner I find instructions in dressmaking patterns can be confusing, so I bought this to support that and it is just right for my needs. Has a good section on tools and fabric types (fabric can be confusing). A good section on basic functional stitches, seams and hems. Large section on altering patterns and then the techniques on garment construction. Mostly aimed at dressmaking. Lots of step by step pics making it easy to see what to do. This is definitely a reference book, not a project book, but does have some projects you can do if you wish. If you are looking for a project book this might not be for you. If you are looking for a craft book, this may not be for you. If you want to know techniques to construct garments and alter them for a better fit, this is definitely a must buy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great book *by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2019* I’ve been a huge fan of DK books for many years and my sons who are now in their late 20’s were brought up on DK books and in fact 90% of their book collection was DK. This sewing book didn’t disappoint, in good old DK style you get the larger than life colourful pictures with everything labelled and step by step explanations & instructions even a complete beginner would be able to get started straight away. I have been sewing for as long as I can remember but usually only made cushion covers, table cloths, curtains, duvet covers and clothes etc however last year I’d taken quite an interest in quilting and as I’ve got a serger & also updated my old sewing machine for a much more modern one I thought I’d treat myself to a new sewing book too. This DK book replaces several other sewing books I have and yet covers far more than what all of them put together covered, it covers the basics for everything you need to know to get started and more or if like me you simply want to be updated or freshen your memory this is the book to do it. It’s by far one of my favourite sewing books and is the type of book you would go back to over and over again just for reference especially if you need to source a stitch type or embroidery pattern or foot etc that you haven’t used for some time this is a great book to have. Very pleased with my book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book! *by I***1 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2023* I am a beginner hobby sewist and got this book as a reference. The overall layout of the book is wonderful, not intimidating nor too boring for someone who’s still learning about sewing. This book covers almost all of the basics with difficulty levels identified for each techique. I do wish this has a section for stitch issues and how to resolve them because i believe it’s one of the basics one should learn. ## Frequently Bought Together - DK The Sewing Book - The Dressmaking Book: Over 80 Techniques --- ## 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.fr/products/59697721-the-sewing-book-new-edition](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/59697721-the-sewing-book-new-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
