Sewing School Basics: A step-by-step course for first-time stitchers

Lots of information in here, understandable, readable style. Could do with some photos to illustrate the techniques, but the illustrations are clear. Would be daunted by this if it was my only beginners book, however it will be a useful reference for the future. 192 pages of info and some full size patterns at the back. More into dressmaking than simple projects, so if you are a total beginner I would recommend C. Collinets book which has some easy quick projects to build confidence.

The instructions are drawings, I'd rather see it in photos. On the other hand, there are a lot of irrelevant pictures, like a decor magazine or a catalog. I'd rather have a simpler book, with good instruction images. I'm sure a lot of people will love this book, but personally I wouldn't have bought it if I had the option to look inside before buying it. I

OMG I love this book, it shows beautiful illustrations of sewing techniques for different tasks, from simple stitches to quilting or, dressmaking, very well written with amazing projects easy to follow..A must for anyone wishing to get serious about sewing. Highly recommended.

Bought this for my son who needs the basics if he is to get thru life without buying replacement's when repair can do.. It's now been 3 months and its just great..

Just bought a super little sewing machine, now I know what to do with it thanks to this little book.

Really useful book,first read it from my local library and liked it enough to buy a copy

Another book covering a multitude of topics that should prove very useful. The photos are clear and seems well written.

Already made lots of things from this book, good instructions and easy to follow would recommend Made the curtains they look lovely.
