Learn hand and machine sewing techniques and helpful advice to help you create twenty-five fun projects in this amazing guidebook for beginners.

This clear and easy-to-follow guide is the ideal tool for the complete beginner to machine sewing. It is packed with sewing expert Caroline Smith's helpful advice and twenty-five exciting projects, ranging from pillows and curtains, to an apron, children's playtime tepee and tote bag.

It covers all the equipment, tools, terminology and techniques a beginner needs to know, guiding readers from the basic hand stitches right through to more complex techniques. This is a new edition of a best-selling and much-loved title.

"This book is an absolute gem! It's full of really helpful advice and we love the way the techniques are coupled with projects, so that you learn it and then practise it. Some of our particular favourites are the Lined linen basket, Café curtain and Dining chair cover. . . . Highly recommended!" —My Creative Notebook
