Juliet Blackwell’s, Secondhand Spirits: A wishcraft mystery (love the vintage, not the ghosts)

Clothing Construction, the absolute single best fully comprehensive sewing book resource for working with vintage sewing patterns and garment construction. It’s actually a textbook.

The Vogue Sewing book, the Vogue sewing pattern bible. A must-have book if you enjoy working with Vogue sewing patterns and want to learn about couture sewing. Extremely comprehensive.

Clothes that fit and flatter, this little book is one of the best vintage sewing books of all time in my opinion. It’s compact, but very detailed and graphic in the information it provides. Very easy, and enjoyable read. Surprisingly, this book is exceptionally affordable on Amazon starting as low as $2.50. Well worth the small expense.

11 vintage sewingbooks you must have on your shelf, taken directly from my personal book shelves (which is constantly growing) this is a list of some of the best sewing books available for the vintagely inspired seamstress or the modern diva looking to construct beautiful garments.

Reader’s Digest Complete Guide to Sewing! Extremely valuable sewing resource for the vintagely inspired, the inspiring beginning and the innovating sewing expert. If you had to have only one book in a sewing library this book is the book to get. Good for vintage and modern day sewing techniques.
