About the AuthorMoyes teaches at the Sewing Workshop.
My favorite reference book on pockets A Customer I keep this book always in reach when I sew pockets. It is my favorite reference book as it provides instructions on an amazingly large number of differently styled pockets:CHAPTER 1: PATCH POCKETS including unlined patch pockets, lined patch pockets, patch pockets in sheer fabrics, patch pockets with foldover flaps and designer patch pockets. CHAPTER 2: IN-SEAM POCKETS including side-seam pockets, slant-front pockets, waistband concealed in a slant-front pocket and designer in-seam pockets. CHAPTER 3: INSET POCKETS including basic i. "I highly recommend this book" according to P. E. Wolanski. This book is an excellent reference for someone who wants a good pocket reference or someone who wants to take their pocket sewing skills to the next level. I highly recommend this book. The author gives great directions and ideas. I only wish that she gave some insight and/or suggestions as to how to create some of the high-end design details she pictures as suggestions.. OK, but not too creative K. Cunningham I was expecting some more creativity. Ms. Moyes delivers with instructions on lots of basic pocket styles, but I was hoping for some exotic couture stuff. She gives directions on how to make a difficult curved welt pocket, which I've seen in couture, and shaped facings covering a pocket. If you're looking for a gallery with a lot of neat-o ideas: it's not in this book. Otherwise, it gives straightforward advice on straightforward pockets.
