Description

Review "This book is a great learning source for anyone interested in sewing, and it's written simply enough for beginners to understand. With this book you can actually learn about sewing. It explains all there is to know about sewing skirts and dresses, including basic sewing tools, a glossary, how to lay out and cut patterns, and has tips on making the garments look high-quality. Not only are the instructions easy to understand, but also there are many diagrams and tutorials to make learning as effortless as possible. The book features step-by-step assembly instructions on each of the garments within the book. I have not sewn anything for a few years and reading this book was a great way to start again. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn a little more about sewing. It contains all the information needed to construct fun garments, and anyone, including beginners, can customize the garments with their favorite types of fabrics and patterns."--Night Owl Reviews, www.nightowlreviews.com About the Author Christine Haynes is a prolific seamstress, lecturer, and author who has been sewing nonstop since the age of 10 when her mother taught her the craft.
