This review is from: Home Decor for Beginners (Seams Sew Easy) (Spiral-bound)
The last time i used a sewing machine was when i was 11 yrs old in high school,(i'm now in my early 40's.) i've had the urge to get involved with more sewing and took the plunge to buy a machine. Figured out how it all worked, but did'nt know where to go from there. If your the same as me, i definately recommend this book, it's an absolute must for the total novice, and also i've had great results, it covers everything you possibly need to know about getting started from the basic hand stitching thru to making a roman shade. happy to say, about to move on to the next book, for the next project, this will always be a great reference book to keep and refer to if you get rusty, or to hand on to your daughter in years to come. Excellent

Best Sewing Book Ever,
By "sandyst" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Home Decor for Beginners (Seams Sew Easy) (Spiral-bound)
Hello, this book is small, but wonderful. This is the best home decor sewing book I have found, the instructions are clear and helpful. There is a section on your sewing machine, seams, and everything I wanted to know was here. Finally after sewing classes and many other books, I finished my bedroom curtains, and I'm ready to do more. I can't believe I like to sew. Before it was a chore and made me cry in frustration, I wish I found this book a long time ago. Worth the money, I like the series but this book was the best.

A great help to a real beginer!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Home Decor for Beginners (Seams Sew Easy) (Spiral-bound)
This book guided me step by step through many projects. Every step is explained in words and pictures, which made it very easy to follow along. I also found the knowing the parts of the machine section in the beginning of the book very helpful. At the end of each project several variations are suggested and explained. Some requiring greater skills, but still achievable ones by the average beginner. My only complaint was that after completing the duvet cover project and making a coordinating flanged pillow set, I realized that the book did not include instructions on making the bed skirt. The photograph that introduces the duvet cover project shows a bed skirt - I think a good addition to the book would be bed skirt instructions. This would allow the beginner to complete a bed redecorate project in the same easy to follow instruction manual.
