Yup. Don't imagine I'll ever have need for a leather case for playing cards, and don't really need a place to store my cassette tapes. But there's a wealth of stuff in there about welts, gussets, handles, sewing corners..... go on and on. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

mikesc Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) I think the Stohlman books look great..a lot of "modern" illustrations are nowhere near as easy to understand as to what goes where etc.. edit to add ..The first "art" degree I ever did / obtained ( BA hons ) was as a medical and scientific illustrator..so I have a professional appreciation for good clear illustration that actually looks like the thing the accompanying text is talking about..Al Stohlman illustration is great.. :) Edited July 23, 2019 by mikesc Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" ..
