Product Description Start sewing in no time with basics broken down to the simplest form! Professor Pincushion's Beginner Guide to Sewing is part textbook, part how-to, and all cheeky fun. Perfect for anyone interested in learning how to make clothes, the book assumes the reader has no sewing experience and breaks everything down to its simplest form, making it easy for anyone to follow along.

Five key garment projects to get readers started and build confidence Projects gradually increase in difficulty, allowing new sewers to build up their skills and knowledge Includes downloadable patterns and full instructions for pajama shorts and a t-shirt About the Author Tova Opatrny sewed her first hair scrunchie in high school and has been at the sewing machine ever since.
