I'm new to sewing myself and I found this book to be extremely helpful and was glad it covered a lot of basic sewing techniques. This book is a comprehensive sewing guide, covering 37 topics, that will get you professional results from start to finish.
The Sew Simple Guide covers basic sewing topics that range from how to sew pockets and piping to seams and shirring.

Choosing what fabric to use is a vital aspect to any sewing project and can be confusing for beginners. The Sew Simple Guide dispels any confusion and devotes a chapter on how to sew with different materials such as fleece, leather, and nylon. It explains the characteristics of each fabric and helps you choose what fabric is best for your project and comfort level.
Once you have finished your project, you can turn to the chapter on embellishment to learn how to add fun detailing through hand embroidery, quilting, fabric foiling and more. This book is a useful reference guide that you'll want to keep nearby whenever you start a project. Whether you have never touched a needle before or need help teaching someone else to sew, this book is an essential guide that will help you sew to the best of your ability.
