Book Reviews of Sewing 101: A Beginner's Guide to Sewing

Book Review: 'projects' are DATED!
Summary: 3 Stars

First, this is yet another book that is great at descriptive information, and for the first 57 pages, I would rate it a solid 4.5 stars. The information is well written, and I found it very informative. That said, however, if you are looking for a book that can teach you the basics AND provide patterns - THIS IS NOT THE BOOK. The patterns are really awful (unless you like Alfred Dunner clothing or need to make nurses uniforms). The instructions for making the items are very well written, with lots of pictures to show the techniques, but unless you are looking to make a gift for your Grandmother, there is nothing worth making. The lack of attractive projects makes this yet another 'check it out from the library' book, and not a book to purchase.
