"Some of the pictures are a little unclear at times but this books fits the bill as a good beginners book and a refresher course/reference book for people who are out of practice. I read the relevant parts but I'm sure this will be a valuable tool to me for some time."
"This really does start from the basics, which is totally what I need. This is the first 'for dummies' book I have read and I have to say, I'm a fan. It starts with describing all the tools and the basics like pinning a pattern to the fabric and how to cut the material, etc. So for those of you who have been sewing for awhile, you may not appreciate this like I did. It does have some tips and warnings that you may find interesting, but probably not worth purchasing.
I, on the other hand, got this at the library and liked it so much I am going to buy it. And as a librarian, it takes a lot for me to buy a book. They have practice projects too and include various projects besides clothes including items for your home, hand made cards, etc. I like the variety and would recommend it to any starter!
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that there are no photos, just hand drawings, and not a ton of those. I looked at another book that had so many photo instructions that was helpful to see orientation of the fabric, layouts, etc. I love photos so personally I only gave it 4 stars. But still totally purchase-worthy!"
