Techniques &~ Projects for beginners. Homemade is the trend, this book makes learning to sew fun because instead of dry theory it starts with practical examples. Learning by doing is the best way to characterize the approach that Choly Knight uses in the book Just Sew! introduces you to the art of sewing with and without a sewing machine. After a short introduction to the equipment and materials, you can start working on the first workpieces without any long cramming of theory. The first few stitches create a pillow cover, a pin cushion or a herb cushion. Cuddly toys, fabric flowers, napkins, all sorts of bags and pennies will soon be on the "curriculum" of this book. Thanks to the rapid progress in the form of finished work, the initial joy and enthusiasm are maintained. Practical: The different sewing techniques are always explained using a specific workpiece and the book provides the necessary patterns for all pieces. Of course, there are also detailed introductions to the necessary basics such as sewing on buttons, setting the corresponding buttonholes, binding edges, sewing in zippers and much more. Taking measurements is also explained and sewing by hand is also on the program. 144 pages.
