I haven't dusted off my sewing machine in a very long time, but this helpful guide eased me right back in and got me excited about sewing all over again! Great job, thank you Miss Choly!!!

Ok for a beginner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful starter book -- solid basics, great starter projects, NOT overwhelming

M.D. · May 19, 2015

I bought this for my granddaughter as a 'first' sewing book. I like the balance between teaching the basics as well as having nice starter projects that don't 'dumb down' sewing for kids. Clear pictures, nice instruction and an easy read.After looking at a number of sewing books, I thought this was the most appropriate for a beginner without being overwhelming. Anyone could pick this up, learn the basics and start with the simple (but nice) projects and feel like they accomplished a lot in a little time. The projects start with basic skills (Your First Seam) and build from there, and are appropriate for kids without being juvenile. The book, however, is more focused on girls rather than being gender agnostic. The book also enables the development of self-confidence; I love the sections on Dealing With Mistakes, safety, etc.If someone progresses through this book, they will have a great set of basic skills that will enable them to create much more complicated projects.

Muy bueno para principiantes // Excellent for beginners

Un libro super bueno para los que se inician a la máquina de coser. Explicaciones claras. Se empieza desde cero patatero, haciendo una costura a máquina. Instrucciones paso a paso en lo más básico: remates, añadir cremalleras, botones, velcro, dobladillo, encarar...¡Además de ser un libro precioso! // I really recommend this books for those who have never used a sewing machine. Good and simple explanations, well illustrated. It's a beautiful books with well-worked details. It explains from scratch how to sew with your sewing maching: the first stich, hemming, adding bottons, zippers. That's your book if you start from scratch!!
