My goal is to sew clothing that fits my body that I will be proud to wear, that looks custom not home made. I have purchased many books on fitting and garment construction both old and new. My favorites out of more than 50 at this time are: Palmer-Pletsch Fit for Real People books and sewing videos, Singer Sewing Library Series Books (Perfect Fit, Tailoring and Sewing For Style in particular) Threads magazine 1985-? volumes of past sewing articles( such as Beyond the Pattern), Louise Cutting sewing videos from threads, Sew-Fit's books Sewing without Pins and Sewing Magic, Clothing Construction 2nd ed. 1974 Mansfield/Lucas and The Complete Book of Sewing Short Cuts by Claire Shaeffer. Claire Shaeffer's book is pure gold. It is probably misnamed because it does not give shortcuts as we usually think of them, but she does help you choose the best and most effective methods for sewing your particular project, shortening that ugly learning curve. She gives you more than one sewing method for a material and design, helping you choose the best one, advice that was not really given in any other of my sources. Her book uses line drawings that make the instructions very clear. She does not include serger information, or colored pictures, but who cares! I have plenty of books with colored pictures and excellent books on sergers. I have almost mastered pattern alteration for myself and Claire Shaeffer's book is helping me to learn to make well-made custom clothing. Buy it . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars You Must Get One! *by S***P on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2010* This book is never leaving my sewing room (unless I'm holding it while reading elsewhere)! There are no photos, just illustrations, but they are well done and clear (I'm probably rated at an advanced beginner to intermediate sewer, so not a total newbie). The book covers a lot of different techniques with step by step instructions that make sense. Chapters include pockets, underlinings/linings/interlings, collars, zippers, sleeves, hems, seams, facings, buttonholes and closures, and more! I wanted a book that covered more than just basic sewing and this is definitely it. If you are totally new to sewing, get this one and DK's The Complete Book of Sewing and you'll be well set. My mom, who used to make ballet costumes and suits, even thought this was a good one to have (might have to find her a copy sometime) This book should be in every sewer's collection for those times when you need a review or just to learn how to do something. Track down a copy for yourself, it is worth it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Book Of Sewing Short Cuts by Claire Schaeffer *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2005* I bought this book in hardcover at a Bargain rate just because I have been so plesed with purchases of her other more recently published books. I found it to be very informative. Methods are not always a very quick technique, but all are very good and sometimes a good technique is the quickest way to a desirable outcome. I taught Sewing in Home Economics classes for a number of years and this would have been a very good book to have had available for students of all levels. I would reccomend it as well as her other great books. --- ## 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.id/products/63349650-the-complete-book-of-sewing-shortcuts](https://www.desertcart.id/products/63349650-the-complete-book-of-sewing-shortcuts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
