If you are looking for a good beginner's book or just one to brush up on your knowledge and terms, this is a great book. And it comes with 3 patterns.

This book is a great way to learn about sewing! It has great info about different fabrics, how to properly fold and cut material, how to take measurements, how to read a pattern, how to make alterations... A great over-all guide! I bought it for a friend who is just a beginner, but even though I've been sewing for years I learned new things (or refreshed my memory) by browsing through it.

I bought this book as a gift for my cousin. She is younger than me and wanted to learn to sew. I got this book on recommendation from a couple of my girlfriends. I began to look through it before wrapping it. This book made things very easy. I have fell back in love with sewing again.
Now I have one also.

This is a good book for a beginner if you have no previous sewing skills and would like to get a jump start on sewing.The best part is that it comes with 3 patterns and directions for sewing them.This is mostly what the book is about.There is a section at the front about tools and fabric and also the basic parts of the sewing machine,but most of the book is directions for using the patterns included.I guess that's what all beginners need to get right in there and start sewing something/anything to get your feet wet.I really liked this book and the patterns are cute, they include an envelope pillow cover,a tote bag and a skirt.Good book
Fun & Fabulous Beginner's Sewing Book May 5, 2006

This book by Elissa Meyrich is great if you are BRAND NEW to using a sewing machine. I easily learned, from using this book, the mechanics of a sewing machine and how to make simple things like a pillow, tote bag, and skirt. The book is written in a style that makes the sewing fun and enjoyable. I think its wonderful for all ages.
The book covers step by step and lists all the tools you will need. For the 3 projects, the patterns are included in the book.
