W. D. F. Vincent: The Cutter's Practical Guide, Part 7, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The bravest thing in war is a good retreat, and the cleverest thing in cutting is altering a bad fitting garment in such a way as to make it a good one. Who of us has not felt at a loss what to do when some unexpected difficulty has faced us, and how much at such times we have welcomed the advice of a friend. This work has been got up to prove just such a friend to every cutter in difficulty, and to help him in a practical way to overcome that which stands between him and success. This work is necessarily rather disjointed in its character, as it aims at describing, illustrating, and providing a remedy for most of the defects usually met with; so that if it lacks apparent continuity, we trust the diversity of subjects it treats will meet every necessity. The defects of Trousers are fully dealt with in Part III of the "Cutter's Practical Guide," and these together will, we trust, throw some light on every puzzling defect the cutter usually meets with.
