I haven't completed many sewing projects before so I

have found this book a wealth of information.

This book goes through many of the basics

that other books seem to forget.

It takes you through everything from how the pattern

appears on a piece of fabric to the selvage and

how to find the repeat on a pattern.

You will learn about everything from choosing the correct

fabric, thread and sewing needle.

It even takes you through how to find which it the right

and wrong side of the fabric.

All of the information is clearly written and there is

either a photo or a diagram to make it easier.

I love the explanations for sewing in zips.

This is a part of the sewing process I have avoided as it

scares me so much.

The clear pictures and instructions make it seem so much easier.

This book is written so that you can design

your own items for your own home.

It gives you all the basic knowledge of design

as well as all the information you need.

You are then taking through step-by-step

different projects that you can make for your home.

There is a fantastic mix of projects.
