Join Professor Pincushion and begin sewing clothes and other projects in no time with sewing basics broken down to their simplest form! This Beginner Guide to Sewing is part textbook, part how-to, and all cheeky fun. It's perfect for anyone interested in learning how to make clothes - it assumes the reader has no sewing experience and breaks everything down to simple steps, making it easy for anyone to follow along. In typical Professor Pincushion style, the tone is lightened with humor to provide an enjoyable learning experience. Beginning with an overview of sewing tools and supplies, she covers topics like using a sewing machine, reading commercial patterns, basic garment sewing techniques, and she even gives you five projects to get you started.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Matthew ★★★★★

The corners are a little banged up as advertised, but the sewing instructions are laid out so clearly that I didn't mind the damage. I'm halfway through my first tote bag and haven't had to re-read a single step.

Henry ★★★★★

The binding held up fine even with a bent corner, and the step-by-step photos got me through my first zipper fly without crying. For the discount price, the cosmetic wear is barely noticeable and totally worth it.

Sophia ★★★★★

The book itself is complete and perfectly readable, which is all that matters for a beginner sewing guide. Some page corners are slightly crimped, but the content is untouched and the diagrams are clear.
