What a FIND! I had no idea the internet had so much to offer as far as free stuff for folks like me who like to sew; patterns (printable and by mail order) fabric samples etc! I would recommend anyone who sews to definitely get this book its is definitely worth the price!

This book was very good when published but since that was in 1999 many websites have dropped out of sight. It needs to be updated.

Judy Heim and Gloria Hansen have struck paydirt again, with this information-packed guide to surfing the Sewing-Net. True to form, the entire first chapter is dedicated to those who are not so computer-savvy, and covers some basic and not so basic computer lessons. Particularly helpful are Heim & Hansen's suggestions on downloading software from the net, including zip files and freeware to open zip files.

Every aspect of sewing has been neatly organized into topical chapters including some more unusual categories: Vintage patterns, sewing hats & outerwear, lingerie, doll & teddybear makers, costumers, sewing entrepeneurs, as well as all the stitching standards we would expect: Free stuff for machine embroidery, heirloom, home decor, tailoring/pattern fitting, projects, fabric, tips & techniques, notions, and sewing machines.

Nothing has been left out of this handy internet resource guide, you'll not want to leave your cyber-home without it. Worth the investment in the savings alone you will glean from cybershopping, you'll want to keep this handy little gem right next to your computer, while shopping and surfing conveniently in your jammies!
