The real deal! Excellent book!

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

Excellent book! This book has taken me from knowing next to nothing to sewing clothing from patterns. It is well written and not overwhelming. It is very positive and even encouraged me in my pursuit of sewing. And on top of that the book quality is excellent. The spiral binding, the graphics, the different fonts, even the weight of the paper along with the excellent instruction and projects....and CD, makes this book a keeper. Even one to pass down to the next generation. In fact I have purchased several copies and have given them as gifts. No kidding! I have the hard copy and the Kindle copy. However having the hard copy with the great pics and graphics is my preference. I Definitely recommend this book. Deborah Moebes paints a nice picture of why and what sewing is about with easy and complete instruction for beginners to
intermediate and there is plenty for the advanced to glean from this book. It's the book on top in my pic. Thank you Deborah Moebes for writing this book.

Great for Beginners, or those Starting Over

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

As soon as I got this book, I sat down and read it cover to cover. I am coming back to sewing as a hobby and this book made me so excited to start again. I love her writing- it was easy to read and understand and it was like I was listening to a teacher, which was really great. I love the photos; they really illustrate what is going on in the text, which can be difficult with a sewing book. The projects are very exciting to me (I'm going to start this weekend), especially since they take you skill by skill, increasing in difficulty until you get to the coup de grace, the skirt, which was my end goal. The introduction was very informative as well, she takes the time to explain why you should get each tool and lets you know which ones you can hold off on purchasing, which is helpful for someone like myself who has some tools, but not all and wouldn't know where to start. The book itself is heavy, it is spiral bound so you can lay it flat, which I thought was ingenious, the cover is very heavy stock. Finally, there is an included CD with patterns that I can't wait to get in to! I haven't even made a project yet and this book has made me stoked to start sewing again! Great purchase!

Stitch by Stitch: Learning to Sew, One Project at a Time

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2010

Verified Purchase

For years, I have been too afraid to learn how to sew. I was intimidated by the machine, and I was afraid that I would never learn. Although I'm still only through a few of the projects, I now feel that I can do anything with sewing!

I think what really helps with this book is that the author doesn't attempt to intimidate you and gives you thorough instructions. I was more than happy that she gave a detailed list of necessary accessories and how to use them. I also appreciated her humor throughout the book (especially her little tangent about fabric).

Another important part of this book is that sewing is part craft and part art. It does take practice to build up skill in order to do all the stitches correctly, but that's the great part about learning! I purchased several yards of muslin just to practice all of the stitching, and the more I practice, the better I get. Hopefully within the new few months, I can start taking patterns and using them. And finally, I hope to take those patterns and modify them to fit a body perfectly. This is just the first building block in order to learn. Each project teaches you a new skill, and I find myself going back a few each time, so I can test myself.

I have to admit that I found the projects to be a little funny. I have no wish to make an eye mask, and the hipster belt looks a little strange. But the importance of these things is learning the skills required to make them and to move on and make your own items. So for now, I happily make the eye mask, because I know getting these skills will help me in the future.

Although there is a long list of things that you should consider getting before continuing the projects, I would recommend like crazy a pair of dressmaker's shears. We own about four scissors in our apartment, and none of them handled the fabric well enough. I am now investing in a pair of scissors. An iron is incredibly important as well. Of course, this is stated in the book, but I didn't realize how important they would be until I actually started doing the projects.

Overall, a fantastic book. I know I will be keeping this as a reference book in the future. It would be impossible for me to let this go.

Stitch by Stitch: Learning to Sew, One Project at a Time

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a lovely book and a valuable resource for novice sewers. The author says at the beginning that the book is suitable for beginners but that there is also something in it for the more experienced sewers especially if they have never learned how to achieve some techniques themselves. I've been sewing since I was a kid so honestly there wasn't anything new in this book for me however, I have enjoyed reading it and the author has a very nice style. The idea of the book is that you start at the beginning and work your way through the projects, learning as you go and working your way up to the more advanced projects at the back - skirt, blouse - and by the time you have done that you will have all the skills needed. There is also a CD included with the book which has the patterns and appliqué on it. The author has a second book coming out this year, and yes I will be buying that too as it looks lovely.

Great for beginners, beautiful presentation

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 21, 2011

Verified Purchase

The first thing that grabbed me was the beautiful presentation of the book. The binder makes it easy to keep the book open at a certain page and work on a project while looking at the book. Lots of nice illustrations and pretty photographs.

Second was the passion and excitement that the author gives off when she talks about sewing. Granted maybe a bit American type of over-enthusiam, but I do think an enthusiastic teacher helps a lot.

Third was the fact that it literally starts from the basics, down to a shopping list of basic tools like a pair of good scissors and a heavy iron, which is great for absolute beginners like me.

I've been looking around quite a bit for my first sewing book to start, and this one was the one that I chose and so far I'm pretty happy with it.

Beginner's sewing book that won't let you down

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book is fantastic and does exactly what it promises. It's inspired and inspiring for beginners who have never sewed. Its approach is to learn by sewing projects that start with very easy projects and graduate from there. As an absolute beginner, I am really enjoying the projects and the book hasn't let me down so far. It's very understandably written, the pictures are good and it is easy to follow. It's great for beginners and if you don't want to go to a course I can only recommend this book. I wouldn't recommend it for advanced sewers/sewists but it's a great gift to get people around you started as well.

It's a good book but don't expect to be able to use the CD, it won't even stay in my player. So no access to the patterns. . .

Love the author of this book. Subscribed to her lessons on the Craftsy website and that inspired me to buy the book. You forget you're actually being taught a skill, her style of teaching is so entertaining.
