These book covers are awesome. They look like they've been covered in fabric.

Nice looking books. The fabric covers have a nice texture I bet. Hows the content? I sew hand bound books, but thats about it.

I have 4 of the series, I LOVE them. I actually got each one for 25ยข from an old elementary school that was going to be torn down. Funny. I got so excited when I saw them on here.

omg! I collect and use vintage sewing books, and have the pink "Classic Techniques" book. I didn't realize it was part of a series. Now I'll have a new goal in completing the series - thanks for bringing it to my attention. :)

I love those books and your blog!
"Basic Tailoring" looks pretty amazing
with the herringbone tweed cover.
I have "The Personal Touch"...
it has butterflies on the cover.

These sewing books are amazing! I managed to get the whole set after a couple of years of collecting. I just wanted to say that there are 16 books in the entire series, plus a separate softcover index booklet. So that ebay set is incomplete.

I have the whole set. Who wants them? I'm cleaning out my library.

err...I have 13. If the whole set is 16, then I am missing three.
