Great resources! I have been sewing most of my life and still run across things I don’t know how to do. I don’t think about finding a book to help out. Thanks!
It’s so amazing the many resources nowdays. I taught myself to sew barbie clothes because I didn’t want to waste material in my experimenting. Now there is a slew of books and things to help. Got to love the advances even just in 28 years. 🙂
I remember when everyone was taught to sow in junior high. I guess they don’t teach sewing anymore. I loved to sew when I had the time. Now I don’t even own a sewing machine but I sew hand when necessary.
I love these suggestions. I’m definitely a novice sewist! I keep telling myself I’m going to dive back in to sewing, but so far I haven’t found the time or motivation to do it!
I love to sew but never had any formal training. These books might be helpful. I loved your corner technique in a previous post and will be putting it to the test on some projects I am doing right now. Thanks.
Beth, if you have some sewing experience, the Perfect Fitting Guide is great for garment sewers. Glad you like the corner tip – all these little tips and tricks in my head – trying to get them down on paper!
What a cute photo! I think people should have at least basic sewing skills because it could come in handy for fixing things instead of replacing things and it can also be used for fun.
I have started to renew my sewing bug with mass produced homemade masks and might see what else I can whip up here! These books look like a good place to start!
I never had the patience for sewing projects, but I always loved watching my mom sew, and as a stage manager I love watching the costumers work. It’s a skill I would love to have!
I have very limited sewing knowledge and my 8 year old daughter has been wanting to learn. One of these books may just be the exact thing I need in order to motivate me to get started. Thanks for sharing.
Have you tried any of these books? I’d love to sew more someday…maybe if I can get my house all unpacked and organized quickly, I’ll be able to get to all my sewing stuff. 🙂 It’s been way too long and I could use some sewing tips.
The Perfect Fitting Guide is one of my favorites. I have had several students use the Tilly book with great success. They love her easy and well drafted patterns.
The books about fitting and adapting patterns sound interesting. I think I’ve still got my sewing books from secondary school in my cupboard. ? Making buttons has certainly improved since then.
I really need to get back into sewing. I never learned how to use a machine, but I used to hand sew.
I definitely could use some help in this area.

I am not sewing fanatic but have a lot of friends that are! I pinned this to share with them!
Thank you
I love crafting but sewing has always been my weakness. Thanks for the references, I will definitely be looking into these.
Great suggestions! A newbie like me can definitely use one of these…or all of them xD
My daughter is learning to sew! She will be interested in your post for sure!
Wishing her fun on her sewing adventures.
Good resources even if not a total beginner.

I Will definitely look into these. I wanted to learn sewing since I was a child!

Thank you, That’s my daughter and granddaughter – I agree, they are very cute!
I just have to say I love the headbands in the photo – especially the little baby one! 🙂
Thank you. My mom made them, that’s my daughter and granddaughter in the photo.
Great advice! Sewing well is an art!

Good luck with the masks. It seems to be spurring people on to sew more.

This is really great! It will be so helpful to people who are just trying to get into sewing.

Thanks for the great ideas! My sister was definitely the seamstress in our family. I try sometimes, I will check out these books. Thanks
Never been much of a sewer but this is very helpful!
Great resources! Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely sewing challenged!
These look like excellent books for someone like me! I used to see a lot. But never ventured far beyond basic patterns.
The books about fitting and adapting patterns sound interesting. I think I’ve still got my sewing books from secondary school in my cupboard. ? Making buttons has certainly improved since then.
Great resource for beginners! Thank you for sharing them.
Sharing this with my mother in law that sews a lot
Good suggestions! I have tried sewing in the past and even own a sewing machine, but I can’t even put the bobbin in…LOL
