Amazing Introduction to Sowing Beginner to IntermediateBy GretchyI used this book in my very first costume design class in college; however when I was finished with the class I gave it to my sister. She uses many of the skills she learned in this book to make purses and my nieces clothes and costumes (my niece is rather tall and curvy for her age and we have a hard time finding clothes that are appropriate for her). I made all different size dresses to send to African orphans using this book!It would be a great addition to any homeschool home ed class as well.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This book is great for step by step instructionBy Happy BuyerThis book is great for step by step instruction. It has space to attach your samples of your attempted work so it doubles as a workbook. I love this book because it taught me a lot about the basics. I know how to measure someone now; I know how to a lot of different stitches and their purposes based off this book. I have since gone on to sew pillows; puppets; gloves; full cosplays; and more. I have even shared my knowledge with others. Very good book to teach a complete novice how to sew.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Learning what you already knowBy Luna Rae AnselmI knew some of the basic stitches the book teaches but this goes over it in more detail than I was taught.I was slightly disappointed when the book came in (I knew it was going to be a binder as I saw this in our school book store before I bought it) but the pages were not hole punched properly and all of the top holes needed to be reinforced with those round stickers.This book was required for class and after only getting through chapter one and two I know Ive learned a lot more. I like the set up of the opening chapters; and the chapter discussing measurements is set up ok. It was a bit out of order from the measurement sheet that comes with the book; but the descriptions of what needed to be measured was great.Overall I think it was a good purchase; and this book will be kept with my sewing kit at all times. The ability to attach samples of the stitches is a nice touch that will let me know; ok yeah I did this before I can do it again.
