    What a fantastic book!

    What a truly wonderful resource this book is for the home sewer, wanting their projects to look much more professional. I found it to be very detailed with instructions and diagrams. I am very happy I purchased this well thought out, well written, comprehensive ‘how to’ book. 🙂

    Sew simple!

    As a self-taught seamstress in the age of YouTube tutorials, I really wasn’t sure I’d use this book at all and it would join the ranks of the other books that make for handy material weights only… BUT it is PHENOMENAL! It really explains how to do things with awesome drawings and simple explanations. It has taken my sewing to another level and I can finally do a super neat pocket! I think I use this book more than my scissors and is a great gift for anyone interested in sewing. Love it, thanks for the recommendation of this book on your Insta page, changed my sewing world!
