Paperback

This book has very good photos!

I've been teaching sewing classes to young people. Our co-op isn't able to use machines right now, so our only option is hand sewing. The kids are having a great time and I'm constantly looking for new ideas. The bikini isn't a realistic project, but there are a bunch of great ideas inside. It is just the kind of thing that I needed! I think it would be great for someone starting out without a lot of sewing support. After they sew their way thru the book they will have tons of new knowledge and confidence to more on to more complicated projects.
