Islander Sewing Systems 1 – Now in Workbook Format
In this book on industrial techniques for garment construction, Janet explains sewing methods that have proven to be superior. Each is carefully and clearly explained in a logical sequence, accompanied by close-up photography to illustrate the steps. Readers are encouraged to make samples to reinforce the learning process. Although this workbook will be easily understood by beginning home-sewers, it is also valuable to the more advanced who wish to improve their techniques.
Islander Sewing Systems uses no pins or basting and emphasizes that the most important key to creativity comes from total understanding of materials and machines. Once you learn this system, your technical difficulties are over - you only need to follow where your imagination leads you. The techniques are so deceptively simple that they become second nature. This means that ideas quickly become reality without resorting to complicated and cumbersome methods. Just imagine cutting your sewing time in half and producing truly professional results. Now that’s exciting!
Additional supplements will be released periodically and can easily be added to the workbook.

The new workbook
If you own the previous book, this book isn't necessary. But, I will say, if you don't, I like it for that. Same material. I'll let u know when I start stapling practice pieces in the new sewing systems book. I haven't used it yet, but read thru it. Good material. I would give it 3.5 if I could and a 4 star rating if I already used it and loved it.

Thank You So Much!
After years of home sewing, this book has filled in a lot of spaces that have because I am self taught.
