The Encyclopedia of Sewing Techniques: A step-by-step visual directory, with an inspirational gallery of finished pieces Paperback – 1 Nov. 2003

I bought this "used" but it looked brand new so a real bargain. It told me exactly what to do in simple terms to make some curtains and there are other projects that look well explained. Obviously not for someone with a lot of expertise already but very good as reminder if you can't remember how to tackle something.

Wow! A well written sewing book with lots of pictures and very swift service. Thank you!

It is a very good read showed me things I did not know

Well worth buying. Useful tips and lots of illustrations which is good.

This book contains all the basic sewing techniques I can think of plus more.I did not find the images used very inspiring though. From the looks of it, it is quite an old book.For some reason I just found the colours and fabrics used in the pictures so dull, and it is quite important to be visually pleased with a book about making things that are not only functional, but look good.Its quite easy to imagine the images not bothering other people though.

what can I say other than fab fab fab !!:) prompt delivery and an excellent price for an excellent book!! :) very happy indeed!!

Live this little handy guide book for any sewer. Perfect for beginners!

I chose this book for my daughter who is having a sewing machine for Christmas, and has never used one before. I think it will serve her well as it explains each stage and has easy to follow photos.
