I don't often write reviews, but I thought this book deserved one. I would consider myself an intermediate sewer. I've sewed in the past, I know how to use a machine and how to hand sew, done mostly quilts, pillows and drapes, but never attempted clothing. This summer I attempted 3 separate items of clothing and failed pretty miserably at all three, for varying reasons. I picked up this book as kind of a refresher and on my first time out, I came up with a skirt that actually fit!! It goes over basics that people might sometimes forget, explains the ins and outs of the machine, fabric and some sewing terminology. And it also gives you some tips and tricks that are pretty helpful. If you've sewed clothes before, I wouldn't recommend the book as it is too elementary, but for those who want to make the transition into clothing, I think it is a must. I look forward to more books by this author! Comment | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) See less
