Author is Home Shopping Network's favorite sewing host. Each beginner-level project starts with a square (or rectangle) of fabric— it’s magical how that square turns into anything from a napkin to a skirt! There are no curved seams to match, no complicated fitting, no patterns to buy. There are projects for home decor, apparel, and craft items you can sew for yourself or as gifts for your family and friends.
The title Sewing from Square One also has a second meaning: you can start from square one, the very beginning, and make anything in this book. All you need are a conventional sewing machine and a few sewing supplies. (If you have a serger, feel free to use it for rolled hems or seam finishes, but it’s not necessary for these projects.) There are step-by-step directions with how-to photos. Each project includes a list of materials to buy or gather.
A basics section beginning on page 88 covers fabrics, tools, and skills like sewing seams. It recommended reading through it before you start a project. While you are working on a project, if you come to a sewing term you don’t quite understand, just check the explanations at the back of the book.
The most important thing is to have fun, from choosing the fabrics to adding your finishing touches. Get creative and personalize your projects with embellishments and decorative stitching. You’ll be amazed at what you can do.
