The Complete Book of Sewing: Full Step-By-Step Techniques and 15 Simple Patterns by Wendy Gardiner

Posted at — Feb 1, 2020

Good introduction for beginners — informative, and with lots of clear photos. Goes through different types of sewing machines, tools, threads, fabrics, interfacings, explains how to make simple pattern alternations, covers seams, hemming, darts, zippers…​ you name it.

The 15 projects are alright, maybe not everyone’s style, but explained well with diagrams.

★★★☆☆
