Sewing for Dummies
This book was received quickly and in tip-top shape. I purchased it for my soon-to-be granddaughter-in-law who is trying to teach herself to sew clothing. I know this guide will be invaluable to her as she gains in her expertise.

mean you should write it, or hundreds of them. Yes they are good for some of thier books (Computer for dummies, or whatever) but they do not know everything. I am very disappointed with this book. It is NOT for the New to sewing people. (not for dummies!) It's not the worst books, but I have a few better books in my collection that are great for reference. I think that the Complete Book of Sewing is a clearer book for new sewers. It has a lot of pictures, that the Sewing for Dummies lacks! But it is up to you. I do own this books, but I use it very little, if at all.
Sewing for Dummies
I used to sew a lot when my children were little. At some point I was "done" with sewing and I gave away my machine saying," I'm never sewing again!" But recently the sewing urge (and the practicality of it) hit me again and I've bought a new fairly basic machine. I was intimidated, at first by all of the new "bells and whistles". This book is a perfect tool to give me the confidence to try out all the new stuff the machine can do. Without this book, I think I'd stick to a straight stitch or some very basic zig zag stitches. Now with the help of the simple step by step instructions in the book, I am game to try out all kinds of new frontiers...like sewing knit fabrics and hemstitching by machine. This book is the perfect companion to match my limited knowledge and skill level for sewing and help me try many of the variable things my new sewing machine can do.

reading this book! Luckily I was not looking for clear-cut instructions on hemming, seaming, and pattern design, because I found the author's instructions to be very difficult to understand due to the absence of pictures and diagrams. I would suggest purchasing other books for project ideas and coherent instructions. "Sewing for Dummies," however, helped me to become more confident about actually going near my new sewing machine because of the author's use of plain English and the absence of "advanced technical sewing jargon." Although disappointed about the confusing hands-on instructions, I was happy that I chose this to be my very first sewing book because the author really does make the basics easy to understand!
