- Simple sewing for the beginner
This is an inspiring and very easy to follow instructional sewing book.You will actually have something to show for your work when you finish these useful and cute projects.The materials required are not expensive or hard to find, like many other so-called beginner books.There is also some flexibility in the directions in regards to picking out fabrics you like or just winging it.She's straight-forward and to the point, but also amusing.
