new books!

So sadly the Borders bookstore near my house is closing, there's a Barnes and Nobles directly across the street so that could be part of the issue, but the plus side of this store closing is that theyre having a huge closing sale. So far the books are only 20% off and the magazines were 40% off, but I was a little late, they sale started this weekend I think, so by yesterday most of the normal fashion magazines were gone, but I did find some of the British and French versions of Vogue and Elle, but I also came across this gem of a book, while i was looking for some of the fabulous designer coffee table books which they had none of :(
I'm really excited about this book, because although I did go through 4 years of design school, my sewing skills are definitly my weakest, and even still always need improvements. This book seems great it shows you easy step by steps with pictures from everything to zippers, pleats, collars appliques, adapting patterns etc. Its also good if you kind of remember how to do that french seam, but really could use something to jog your memory. Definitely wish I had this school when I was doing my senior collection
