At the Couture Sewing School, you'll spend a week with kindred spirits, and while there, your confidence will soar, your skills will multiply, and I promise you'll be a different -- and a better -- sewer at the end of our time together.

You'll spend an action-packed six days learning, growing and sharing. You'll learn from me, and you'll learn from each other as the beautiful creations you are working on take shape.

Join me for a week that will transform you -- you'll think about your sewing in wonderful new ways. I guarantee it!

Sincerely Yours,

Susan Khalje

Linen and cotton are two classic fabrics that are always in style. This second book in Taunton's Focus on Fabric series, Linen and Cotton, is the essential sewing room reference for working with these easy-to-wear fabrics. It includes not only sewing techniques, but tips on selecting the right patterns and equipment, preparing and caring for the fabric before and after sewing, and construction techniques.

These well-behaved fabrics are the perfect place to try new or complex techniques with confidence. Rarely taught classic couture methods are explained in detail.

In one concise volume, sewers can find information on weaves, treatments, finishes, and specialty details like godets, pin tucks, and piping. A gallery of beautiful garments will serve as inspiration to take sewing skills to new heights. With the help of these professional techniques, linen and cotton garments will turn out like expensive ready-to-wear.
