I found Barb's book very readable, and it made perfect sense to me......

Call me silly if it makes you feel good, but i don't speak Seamstress, or Tailor.

The only sewing I'd ever done before buying Barb's book was on leather.

The terminology does not transfer, and sewing leather is nothing like sewing fabric!

I am not blaming Barb. It is no fault of hers. I am totally inexperienced with sewing cloth, and am totally at sea trying to understand the directions. The fault is mine and no one else's.

If you are not a gun crank, I could probably start talking ballistics or technical stuff and leave you in the dust in a matter of minutes. But for some reason, I simply can not fathom Seamstress.
