Some of the reviews include -

Great book for a new sewer, October 16, 2005

This book is super for people who are just beginning to sew. The projects are great and build sewing skills. A must-have if you are just learning.


Sew Nice!!, August 10, 2005


This book is a good basic book for beginners. It gives you a list of materials you will be using for most any sewing project and gives you basic understanding of sewing terms. I really loved the three projects included with the book. The step by step directions were wonderful. The projects are designed to make you look like a creative person.


Amiee Soto August 2003

I have taken classes with Elissa. I was so inspired byher I purchased her book. It guided me the way to really comprehend the materials. Plus, its a great reference book to have when you leave the machine for a few weeks.


Not just for beginners June 02, 2003 - Reviewer: Jessica from Seattle, WA USA

I am a self-taught intermediate sewers who's been off and on for about six years. Because this is marketed for the beginner sewer, I hesitated on purchasing it. However, after having so many frustrating experiences attempting to make a professional looking purse, I decided to buy it. This baby helped me so much that now I'm thinking of starting a small business! This book teaches you all the things you can't necessarily teach yourself or figure out on your own. Everything is super easy to understand, and the result is ALWAYS crisp and neat looking.

I highly recommend this book to any level sewer, from novice to intermediate.
