Review on 🧵 Sew Me! Sewing Basics: A Comprehensive Guide for First-Time Sewers - Learn Easy Techniques and Projects (Design Originals) by Sasha Hsiao

I bought this book for my granddaughter as her 'first' sewing book. I like the balance between teaching the basics and good introductory projects that don't get "stupid" when sewing kids. Clear pictures, good instructions and easy reading. After looking through several sewing books I figured this would be best for a beginner but not too difficult. Anyone can do this, learn the basics and start with simple (but fun) projects and feel like you've accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. Projects start with and build on basic skills (your first stitch) and are suitable for children but not teenagers. However, the book focuses more on girls than gender-agnostics. The book also promotes self-confidence; I love the sections on error handling, security, etc. By working through this book, someone will have a basic set of skills that will enable them to create much more complex projects.
