Book Reviews of Sewing For Dummies
Book Review: great!
Summary: 5 Stars
this was a christmas present for my mother-in-law-to-be, she just quit smoking and she wanted to occupy her time with something. so, she wanted to start sewing. that's all she wanted for christmas and i thought that this book would help her out in any situation she would have that she doesn't already know. thanks and this seller is recommended in my "book"!!!!Book Review: Well, it wasn't as helpful as I had hoped.

This book still provides the basics, some terminology and such...but the patterns that are "included" are outdated by about 20 years. That was very disappointing since the instructions refer to these patterns and that feature was a big selling point for me, so as to practice the actual tips and learn with the book before spending more money at the fabric store!Book Review: From dumber than dumb!

I have read small parts of this book since I picked it up. Some parts are very easy to follow, and very helpful to this beginner. It covers many different topics, which helps me think about different projects I could tackle. But some parts still need more explanation for me to understand -- drawings or breaking down the steps even more would be helpful.Book Review: YAY

I am a total sewing newbie. Before this book I could barely sew a straight line. I learned something by the 3rd page and within 2 days of reading the book I sewed a pvc capelet that looks totally professional. This book is something I would recommend to every person new to sewing and even if you are experienced you may learn a few things.Book Review: very easy to learn
Summary: 5 Stars
this book really breaks it down in the simplest form possible. it's hard to learn how to sew by just reading a book without any hands on experience, but this helps you visualize, and it is written in plain english. if you haven't sewn in your life, or never picked up a needle and thread,this book is definitely for you.
