Professor Pincushion's Beginner Guide to Sewing

Ebook

Garment Making for Nervous Newbies

Start sewing in no time with the basics broken down to the simplest form and five key garment projects to build up your skills and confidence.

Professor Pincushion's Beginner Guide to Sewing is part textbook, part how-to, and all cheeky fun. Perfect for anyone interested in learning how to make clothes, the book assumes the reader has no sewing experience and breaks everything down to its simplest form, making it easy for anyone to follow along. In typical Professor Pincushion style, the tone is lightened with humor to provide an enjoyable learning experience. Beginning with an overview of sewing tools and supplies, she covers topics like using a sewing machine, reading commercial patterns, and basic garment sewing techniques and gives you five projects to get you started. Accompanying videos further illustrate the how-to concepts.

"What a wonderful introduction for the new sewist, offering everything readers could want to know in an attractive graphic presentation . . . The clear instructions, attractive photos, and graphics make this an essential starting place for sewing and a foundation to continue to build on." — Library Journal (starred review)
