This book combines 3 of Nancy's sewing books under one cover. It is an amazing treat to have them all to help one sew. You can expand into several books and figure out exactly how to sew whatever you want to create. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their sewing skills. Thank you, Amazon, for having it available.

I've been sewing for decades, and my makes were always hit or miss when it came to fitting. I recently discovered a great sewing podcast that talked about fitting the pattern to fit your individual measurements. Then, lo and behold! I saw a couple of Nancy's tv shows on PBS where she showed how to make pattern adjustments - this is just what I've been missing all this time. I immediately purchased this book, and it has been life-changing. I took a pattern for a knit top, measured myself according to her method, made the adjustments to the pattern, et viola! I now have a wonderful top that fits me to a T! I highly recommend this book to anyone who sews, whether you've been sewing for decades, or are a complete novice.

Always watched her sewing programs. I am still learning from the late Nancy Zieman. Her books are so easy to comprehend. Her teaching methods are easy to follow. There are still some videos on the internet on the various subjects. It has been so rewarding to successfully alter a pattern and sew a garment that fits beautifully.

I've been sewing for many years, but am always looking to expand my knowledge. This book provides many tips and easy to understand instructions. Especially great for someone just getting into sewing.

Ce livre est un must pour toute couturière amateur ou plus avancée .Excellent pour la clarté de sa présentation sa facilité de comprehension même si vous ne parlez pas l'anglais; vous comprenez grace à une richesse d'illustration de qualité.Nancy était et sera toujours la référence pour ces raisons.C'était une excellente pédagogue disparue trop tôt hélas!Ce livre très complet surclasse tous les livres du même genre plus récents mais trop chichiteux,à mon gout, et qui ne vont pas à l'essentiel :se mettre à la place aussi bien d'une débutante qu'une couturière avancée

A beautifully presented book. Good clear diagrams; easy to read in columnar format. Example photographs included. Logical order to presentation of information, broken down into easy chunks with instructions. The inclusion of “Motivating Memos” and “Nuggets of Inspiration” make this a first class book on the subject.

I was always a fan of her show Sewing with Nancy. After a 20 year hiatus from sewing I needed to brush up on my skills and techniques, this is the perfect book. It is awesome as it is three of her books in 1, an excellent value! The pictures and diagrams are excellent and easy to follow. If I am in need of even more guidance I can usually find one of her videos on line for an actual demonstration.I highly recommend this book for any level of sewing skill, the only book required.

I recently retired and am getting back into sewing. It is great for reviewing how to do and get great results on some less often used sewing tasks. Considering it is actually 3 books, a great deal. Also the fitting methods I am using on ready to wear items that have never fit and need some tweaks..

Ich bin ursprünglich auf der Suche nach verständlichen Overlockanleitungen auf die Videos von Nancy Ziemann gestoßen. Diese sind leicht verständlich und einleuchtend. Meine Hoffnung, dass dieses Buch genauso gut nachvollziehbar gestaltet ist, wurde nicht enttäuscht. Obwohl es leider nur in englischer Sprache erhältlich ist, kann man es wunderbar nutzen, da die Bilder für sich sprechen und die Texte dazu nicht ausufernd sind. Mit meinen Englischgrundkenntnissen also durchaus verständlich. Dieses Buch ist eine Sammlung von drei Büchern der Autorin zu den Themen Nähen, Overlock und Schnittanpassung. Jedes Buch beinhaltet zum jeweiligen Thema Grundkenntnisse und anwendungsbereite Tips sowie einige Projekte. Da die Bücher z.T. schon vor 8 bis 10 Jahren herausgebracht wurden, sind die Projekte für meinen Geschmack etwas hausbacken, aber sie beinhalten nur einen geringen Teil des Buches und lernen kann man davon dennoch etwas. Insgesamt ein umfassendes, gut verständliches und sehr informatives Buch für die Hobbynäherin. In dieser Fülle ist mir auf deutsch kein anderes Nähbuch bekannt. Für die gelernte Schneiderin ist es jedoch sicher nicht speziell genug.
