You may be thinking of buying a sewing machine. Maybe you've just been given one. Or is it that you've had one a while now, but you've never even taken it out of its box. The problem is, you have absolutely no idea how to use one. Does that sound familiar? If so, this book is aimed at you. You may think you could never learn to sew. Or that it's going to be far too complicated. Well, yes, you can sew! And this book is going to show you how. From unboxing your machine; its basic workings; threading it; right upto making the five lovely items included in the book. Firstly, it will be taking you through the essential equipment you need to get started, whilst also pointing out what you might think you need, but don't. Then page by page, in simple terms, and a friendly style, I'll be taking you through the basic workings of a sewing machine, how to thread one, and then some simple exercises to get you started. The book has gorgeous pictures, diagrams, tips, ideas and troubleshooting throughout. The handful of techniques you will learn, will be enough for you to make the "five easy makes": A simple no-zip cushion Three triangular bean bags Five flag bunting A tote bag and reversible case A card case Templates, and step by step, fully illustrated instructions are included for these. Where you will go after that is up to you, but to help you decide, there's a few more hints and tips in addition to what you have already learnt. All in all this is the perfect book to accompany a first sewing machine.
