Elementary sewing skills

Product detailed description

With respect for the craft and a desire to convey basic sewing skills in an understandable way, the stylish booklet from Merchant & Mills was created. It's packed with information that beginners often struggle to find, simply because they don't know where to look.

A charming detail is that the book is bound in printed canvas, paying homage to the fabric. For us, this is a must-have in any sewing library, and it makes for a great gift.

The text is neatly divided into twenty chapters, covering nearly everything you need for a solid start in your sewing journey.

From the words of the authors on the book's cover: "We believe in sewing - seriously ... We also believe that sewing should be fun and rewarding, not filled with fear and dread of failure. We will guide you through the key elements of using the sewing machine, understanding garment construction, in theory and in practice, and using sewing patterns to make the clothes you want to wear... This books hopes to be your ever-ready tutor, to elaborate on troublesome methods or to offer a simple solution to a challenging task."
