Review: IM IN LOVE - I absolutely love, adore, & cherish this book. “ IT IS MY BIBLE “ This book is hands down probably the best sewing for beginners book you’ll ever buy in your life. It is well organized & extremely thorough. It feels like someone is holding your hand from start to finish. This book is extremely extensive & dense & will take about 4 months to read alone. if you are going to do the exercises as you read the book, it will take about 1 year to do. There’s only one thing that I don’t like about this book & that is it’s cheaply made the cover & the glue that holds the book together is NOT GOOD. I wish the author would have spent more money on making a hardcover & used a high quality book covering & binding. I would gladly pay more money for that, the book started falling apart 1 month Into me reading it, but because the book is so amazing. I’m still going to give it 5 stars. I can tell the author was extremely passionate when writing this book because it is simply amazing. This book will assist in making my dreams of becoming a fashion designer come true because it is so easy to learn & loaded with over 600 pages of information, patterns, charts, button sizer & so much more . This book is simply amazing I also have have their “ how patterns work “ book & I love that book too. I will continue buying books from this author for the rest of my life
Review: Hands down the best sewing book I’ve ever read. - I decided to buy this after I read rave reviews when I was looking for beginner sewing books for a friend. As I was looking through my own small collection of sewing books, my copies of “Singer Sewing Book”, “The Complete Book of Sewing”, “Couture Sewing Techniques”, and “Reader’s Digest Complete Guide to Sewing” all felt a little lacking on their own, so I decided to give this one a go, and I’m so glad that I did. I’ve been sewing for over 20 years and am an intermediate/advanced sewer. Reading through this book made me feel like someone had taken all of the things I’d ever read and learned through my own trial and error and compiled them into one comprehensive, surprisingly easy to read tome. It’s great for beginners to intermediate sewers because it covers things like fabric grain and using a sewing machine to pressing, construction and finishing, and even a little bit of pattern making. I also appreciated that, unlike many sewing books, this one is strictly focused on sewing clothing vs decorative hand stitching or other random sewing projects. This book teaches good sewing habits (except for putting the tread in your mouth if you’re having trouble threading it through your needle, which is gross and unnecessary) and has clear, easy to understand illustrations throughout. If I could only have one sewing book, this would be it. I think it’s that good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for learning to sew!
*by T***A on October 15, 2022*

This book is incredible! First off all, it's huge! 6 parts, 49 chapters, plus a part 7 which is a library of sample patterns. It goes into lots of detail for all the steps (even tips for threading a needle, needle types, how to press properly - the list goes on). Lots of illustrations that show all angles so you really understand what you're doing. Each new thing taught starts with a list of tools needed. It goes into detail about the tools and types. It explains preparation and then has exercises to practice the topics. And each section is followed by a neat illustrated list of everything you should know after going through the section. I love the fact that each chapter is blocked out on the sides and within the pages so you know where you are at and for quick reference. I'm just sad I did my typical ADHD jump into this hobby and quit when I got recklesslyin over my head. But this book has finally given me all the tools I need to finish all of my half done projects. And hopefully it will allow me to stick with this hobby long term.
