This book takes the mystery out of the sewing machine, holding
first-time stitchers by the hand and showing the easiest ways to
get the most from their machine. In the climate of 'make do and
mend', sales of sewing machines have soared, but many are only
accompanied by a difficult-to-understand technical manual. Here,
Jane Bolsover provides a comprehensive guide for beginners.
Starting with an essential overview of the sewing machine, learn
how to thread it and wind bobbins, why tension is important and
which needles to choose. There's information on the basic sewing
kit you will need, plus advice on which fabrics to choose and how
to cut out. The chapters then build into a complete sewing course,
and at the end of each chapter is a simple project to consolidate
the skills you have just mastered. The projects include items for
the home, including a cushion cover and a lampshade, stylish
accessories, such as bags and scarves, plus great clothing basics,
such as an A-line skirt and a simple shift dress. Also included at
the back of the book are two full-size pull-out paper pattern
sections.
