Customer Reviews

Really useful book.

Great tips, for sewing machine and serger, for a reality-based sewer. (So many books are for people whose lives seem to consist of nothing but sewing, not for the rest of us.) When she says she has tips to speed things up, she just doesn't mean fast - she means fast and thorough. So it's not only fast, it's better. The only problem I had was sometimes the illustrations should have been numbered to coordinate with directions and weren't, or else there were steps not illustrated (though well described) so I was sewing "by faith in the word" of the directions and it turned out right. It is well illustrated and there is always something to learn and try on almost every page.

Anything by Nancy is wonderful!

I've been sewing for 40 years. I read this manual like a novel. It was so helpful to me to becoming more organized. I teach young girls to sew, and teaching the organization methods by Nancy has helped them see how much easier it is to sew when you have everything you need in one place. NO more looking for the missing buttons, zippers, etc. Nancy is such a talented individual and I'm grateful for her expertise. Anyone who buys this book will benefit from it. Enjoy!

Any thing by this author is good!

I've been sewing since I was 15. I've taught others how to sew. This is a good common sense book and I think it is helpful for all skill levels. After turning a few pages, I'm wanting to sew!

This book got me back into sewing!

This an exciting book, and one which will make sewing possible in your busy life. Included are new techniques for sewing better as well as faster. The instruction sheet that came with your pattern doesn't have the best plan for sewing your next garment -- this book does! Very useful
