Summary: A Sewing Room Necessity!
Comment: This is a great reference book for everyone who loves to sew! I have a vast selection of sewing books, but this is one that I refer to time and again. You won't regret buying this book.
Rating: 4
Summary: Useful, but not exactly a "bible"
Comment: A colorful, useful guide to fabric and how to handle it. I only wish that swatches of fabric or large close-ups of the fabric were included, rather than the outfits pictured, as the outfits are often made out of more than one fabric. Morevoer, with eight kinds of wool, being able to see and touch them would make the information more available to me. Also, it would be nice to see how finished garments hang on a body instead of how they lay flat. Nonetheless, it is a very good book, very well organized, and very well constructed considering how it will be so heavily used.

Summary: Ok at best; get Shaeffer's guide instead
Comment: This is a terse book, nice and colourful but really not indispensible. Get Claire Shaeffer's Fabric Sewing Guide instead which really is encyclopedic. Unfortunately both suffer from not having things like cross-names (parachute cloth = supplex) but Fabric Savvy is just a little too brief and does not totally handle all the problems in sewing for that particular fabric like Shaeffer's does (it's a 4th the size).
Also Fabric Savvy covers of course allot less different fabrics batching them together and ignoring the nuances.
