For the 15% of the population who usually are left out of stitching instruction manuals, this book is a wish—come—true. Sally Cowan, a left—handed professional dressmaker, writes sympathetically for left—handed sewers. Forty varieties of straight, back, caught, blanket, buttonhole, chain, knotted, cross, couching, satin and laid filling stitches all are illustrated by 96 clear drawings of progressive steps.
