Three books, which I have probably mentioned ad nauseum, really inspire me.
1. Modern Home Sewing: Modern Home Sewing by Drucella Lowrie and Sylvia K. Mager is the back part of the book. This book starts off with pictures of beautiful 1950's ladies and children dressed in personalized, embroidered clothing. It gives you lots of ideas and inspiration! If you DO happen to own the Necchi BU sewing machine, then it gives you helpful sewing tips about that machine as well. Somehow whenever I pick up this book and start reading it I find myself smiling. It's a down-to-earth, step-by-step instruction book for making clothing, home furnishings and etc.

2. Gertie's New Book for Better Sewing: Gertie's book shows you many techniques of sewing both by machine and by hand with a lot of step-by-step photographs. It's really helpful! The book also includes a wardrobe of Retro style clothing. If you need more help just visit Gertie's Blog!

3. Sewing for Plus Sizes by Barbara Deckert: Barbara's book shows you all about how to fit and sew for the plus sized woman. She has many illustrations and step-by-step instructions. The photos show the types of clothing that can be made for the plus size model that do actually flatter the figure rather than one's wearing a tent from "Omar the Tent Maker". She also explains how to add variety to the commercial patterns so they are made more flattering too. A great book for any plus size sewer!
