resources

My library reference books for Lagenlook fitting, and many other sewing details (in no particular order) include:

  • Fantastic Fit For Everybody: How to Alter Patterns to Flatter Your Figure, by Gale Grigg Hazen
  • Style Is Not Size, by Hara Estroff Marano
  • The Lost Art of Dress:The Women Who Once Made America Stylish, by Linda Przybyszewski
  • Simplicity Sewing Book for Beginners and Experts, 1945
  • Simplicity Sewing Book, 1937
  • Singer Sewing Book, by Mary Brooks Picken, 1949
  • New Simplicity Sewing Book, 1979

❤   ✂   ❤    Enjoy!    ❤   ✂   ❤

Needles

  • Schmetz  –  needles for more purposes than you’d imagine possible, including sergers/overlockers; extremely informative & helpful!

Threads

  • Wade through Gutermann site’s options for your language & use.   FYI ~ they make a 100% poly recycled thread w/no flying fibres or thick/thin spots
  • Coats & Clark:  Rather difficult to locate details, then they concentrate on which thread weight to use for which fibre; nothing about flying fibres & thick/thin spots
