USA orders non-USA orders Alterations - The Professional Guide for Altering Men's and Women's Clothing is for clothing alterations professionals as well as anyone with sewing experience who wants to learn how to make every garment "tailor fitted." Author Darlene Strader has been a professional alterations seamstress for almost thirty years. During that time she has done alterations for top name department stores, managed the local alterations department for a national clothing chain, plus owned a leading alterations business for eleven years. Darlene's name is well known as offering the highest quality alterations. Alterations - The Professional Guide for Altering Men's and Women's Clothing is a no-nonsense, no-gimmick book, and it is written specifically for being used while at your sewing machine. Line drawings were chosen over photographs for their ability to be better seen and understood. Every aspect of the book has been designed for your ease of use, from the comb binding (to lie flat on sewing tables), to graphics and font size. The book format is 8.5"x5.5", it has 114 single-sided pages, 100 graphics, detailed step by step instructions, and it is popular with in-store professionals as well as 'work at home' parents who operate their own alterations business. Originally printed in 1985, the first edition sold out within only two months. The current book is a new updated 2013 edition. Simple altering techniquesIf you have sewing experience and you want to learn how to alter clothing to fit properly, then this book will help to teach you how. You will learn to alter clothing to fit you, to fit your family, and to fit your customers.    Do you want your own business? With a sewing machine, some practice, and a small newspaper advertisement you can start your own business within days. Alterations remains one of the few professions in which a person can choose their own hours and still make a sizable income. Darlene earned over $600.00 a week part-time in the early 1980s; imagine how much it would be today. Darlene said of the number of alterations in the fulltime spreadsheet example: "Oh and then some!" She said that the number of alterations listed in the example are about half of what she did every day. Contents
