highly recommended

A lining makes a garment drape better, last longer, and slip on and off with ease. Easy Guide to Sewing Linings enlightens readers of all skill levels to the lining options available.
-- Instructions on drafting a lining pattern when one isn't included.
-- Teaches how to sew both traditional and quick linings.
-- Gives details on lining a sheer or lace garment, and for a vented skirt, putting a zip-out lining into a coat and much more.

A worthwhile investment

I picked up a copy of Connie Long's book from the library "just for the heck of it". I am going to purchase a copy now. It is packed full with useful tips and information about lining everything. I especially like how she presented making your own lining patterns. While reading this book I was constructing a jacket in which I had to add a partial lining. Had it not been for this reference, I would have not known what to do. The garment looked very professional. Every sewer should have a copy of this as a reference. Thank you Ms. Long.

Excellent reference

This is the definitive book for sewers who want to make linings. Before I bought this book, I thought linings were a waste of time--Armani didn't use them, right? Not anymore! I line most everything I sew. Ms. Long covers lining jackets, dresses, even sweaters--underlinings, classic linings, quick linings. She suggests which fabrics to use, and gives complete directions with construction & insertion. Excellent! Your clothes will hang better, look more expensive, last longer, glide over your skin--great stuff.

Excellent and thorough illustrated guide

Great book, everything I could have asked for to help me get on the way to sewing more advanced patterns that look professional. The instructions are thorough and easy to read, with many illustrations.

A must have for your sewing library!!

I borrowed this book from our public library to get a better look at it and it was great! It has a lot of detail and great illustrations. I am definetly going to purchase this book for my sewing library in the near future.

Excellent resource

I have a lot of sewing books in my sewing room, but this is a resource I use time and time again. It contains excellent instructions for every type of lining: jacket, skirt, pants, dresses. She tells you how to make the patterns for each type as well, if they're not included. PLUS she has all of her helpful hints and short-cuts that don't show up in pattern instructions.I especially love her instructions for quick lining a skirt with waist faceings. Her techniques for bagging linings for sheath dresses is right on. Love this book, and use it all the time.
