I've purchased this magic little book as it was required for a sewing class I've taken recently out of sheer boredom with my dull life as i am the most boring person in the world. I have no plans for summer except to sleep and do some sewing.... but I'm so looking forward to it.
This book is really a good guide for beginners. It is full of pictures and there's a glossary at the end of the book for muppets like moi. The only thing is, the pictures and the models are a bit old, so they might not inspire you enough for sewing. But don't care about that part, you'll sew the patterns you buy, anyway. :)
The book is spiral-binded, which makes it easy to use on my train journey to work every day. I recommend this book for anyone who is new to sewing and who is bored to tears with life, this book is really helpful.

Not the best
|
I purchased this dummies book along with other sewing books.
Overall I was not hugely impressed when comparing it to the others.
I would advise anyone looking for a sewing book to add 'The Complete Book of Sewing (Needlecraft)by Alison Smith'
to their collection, even if you do go ahead and buy this dummies book.

Sewing for Dummies
|
|
A great beginners book - does exactly what it says on the tin for the most part. It teaches you all the basic things you need to know to make up your first dress pattern. I didn't give it five stars though because I think it needed more illustrations in places (we are dummies, after all), and I found some of the terms were used as if you already knew what they meant, such as 'stitching-in-the-ditch'. Which I still don't get...

Great Beginners Book
|
|
This book is great for beginner sewers and also for those with more experience that need a little help with certain techniques. Detailed and simple instructions given for all the techniques listed in the book. Covers a massive range of topics and has projects to be completed along the way. The only reason I am giving this book 4 stars is that I found the projects to be a little out-dated and more focused with home decor as opposed to clothing... but this is just personal preference really. Overall a great book, very handy to have.

FANTASTIC EASY TO FOLLOW BOOK
|
This book has to be the best sewing book I've found, I was after a something that would help me through some of my more challenging projects. This book has everything you need whether you're new to sewing or experienced, from all the basics, to more advance in tailoring, soft furnishings etc.
Straight forward explanations and clear diagram's make this this book easy to follow.
In my opinion, a copy should be in every sewers kit !
