    Perfect for beginners

    As someone coming into sewing with only hand sewing and light machine sewing (with someone’s help) experience this book is awesome. I can’t wait to get my hands on more fabric so I can try some of the tips!! The section on shirring was so cool, I can’t believe it looks that easy.
