Hello readers! so today I'd like to share with you these books I have found on the internet; which are very interesting source of improving the way we sew! These are some of the unique books of couture that I am starting to collect. It is a good idea to look on internet for a free download version although it is sometimes very tiring job searching but worth it. I have plenty of books on my pc that i have downloaded for free. Today I bought the bridal couture wear book from the knitting and stitching show at Alexandra palace London.






But here are some excellent books I have found on Burda website writen by Marina. I have copied that page so I can save this books and share the information.

So, book number one is a little old dating back to 1959 a Soviet book with a title “Conversations About Housekeeping”. 

Line Jaque’s La Technique de la Coupeready-to-wear and Haute Couture, was a real treat not only forSoviets.

The out-of-print French original can still be found on eBay or 

Amazon. I don’t think there is an English translation.
