My first book towards helping left-handers learn to sew,
By stitches@aug.com (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Left-Handed Sewing (Dover Books on Needlepoint, Embroidery) (Paperback)
Years ago I decided I needed to help left-handers learn the basic sewing stitches. This book includes all the stitches necessary to sew anything. Great gift for beginners/ children/ or one who has sewn for years but always struggles with left vs. right. Make someone happy by giving this as a gift.

This review is from: Left-handed Sewing (Paperback)
This book has text and nice line drawings. Many, many stitches and techniques are well explained and nicely illustrated.I bought this book for my thirteen year old daughter. My wife sews well but she is right handed and so are all sewers we know! My daughter says she has found it quite helpful.

Got this as a gift for a left-handed milliner. She was happy with it, especially since she requested it! All went well.
