Do you love to sew-or want to learn how? Then this book will have you in stitches in no time. There's nothing like the feeling of completing a project using beautiful fabrics and great timesaving tools and then sharing it with your family and friends. Plus, learning to sew will save you money too! Before long, you'll be stitching your own hems, repairing split seams, sewing on buttons, and much, much more.
Sewing For Dummies is a book for both absolute beginners and experienced sewers. If you're a stone-cold beginner, you'll find everything you need to know to sew beginning-level projects-and the book doesn't assume that you've ever even picked up a needle and thread before. If you've had some experience with sewing, you'll find tips and tricks that it took author Janice Saunders Maresh, a nationally known sewing and serging instructor, years to pick up! You'll discover how to:
- Master hand and machine stitches
- Read a sewing pattern
- Hem a variety of fabrics
- Negotiate sleeves and pockets
- Install zippers, buttons, and other fasteners
- Shape garments with tucks and pleats
- Adjust projects for better fit and function

- a bathroom with a shower curtain and towels
- hip and funky tote bags

clear instructions
i received this book a little over a month ago and have been reading through it before i actually try any of the projects. it is very well organized and the writing is pleasant without being annoying with bad jokes like some of the for dummies books can be. i can tell i will be referring to this book constantly. the instructions are very clear with information on tips on every aspect of sewing you could imagine. i'm so glad i bought it and i know it will be my main information source while learning how to sew. all the instructions are for hand sewing and machine sewing. very good book.

Love this book!
I have been sewing for years and still find so many things in this book that I didn't know and tips that make life easier. You could use this as a reference book, or read it cover to cover (like I am) and it is still an interesting read. If you are serious about sewing you need this book!

Great Read
This is an awesome read, I have learned so many different things. It is user friendly and I could'nt be happier with my purchase. Oh yes I could, I could have her with me. BUT it is what it is.You learn how to slip stitch, hem, blind hem, you get some insight on picking out a sewing machine, they tell you the tools you need in order to have sewing as a hobby or business. You learn little crafts as well as HOME DECOR section for all you home decor gurus. I actually whipped out this book when putting in my first set of sleeves. Soooooooo, please do not think twice about this book it is a great

Sewing For Dummies
This is an easy to read and understand book for anyone who sews. I have sewed for years and still learned new things. I gave one to my daughter to start her sewing and it is basic without being insulting. Buy this book for yourself or a friend.
