And now, my review:

This book has all you need for starting to sew.  It’s a great tool, or go to when trying to teach a sewing group.  I found the color photos and instructions to be well-written and thorough.  You can really pick up at whatever level you are at and start something today.  It helps you with picking fabrics and what kind is good for what you’re looking at making.  It also talks about thread, needles, patterns, etc.  I’ve been encouraged to see the pattern part.  Maybe I’ll be brave soon and bust out a pattern to make.  Here’s to hoping it turns out.
