Book Reviews of Sew with Confidence: A Beginner's Guide to Basic Sewing
Book Review: Great help for a new seamstress!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been sewing for about one year now. I started out with simple shaft covers for my horse drawn cart, then after my mother gave me the machine I sewed it on, I bought this book. I started out with pajama bottoms, as Nancy suggested and have moved on to dresses, curtains, skirts and pajamas. Guess I'm hooked.
Nancy's book has been a life saver. Even though I have bought patterns for beginners, the directions were not always clear. I just looked up the technique in Nancy's book and then it was simple.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
