You can read more about the book in my Sewing Machine Basics post. It's like a complete sewing course for the beginner, showing the basics in the first section and with 11 different workshops in the second, building up your knowledge as you work your way through the book.
Of course, the book isn't only for beginners, it comes with pull out pattern sheets which any sewer can use, and as the workshops take you through different techniques, they would be good for brushing up the skills of more advanced sewers too.
I bought a couple of these books so that I could offer one to my readers. If you'd like to be in with a chance of winning it just leave a comment on this post by twelve noon on Friday the 20th of March 2015. A name will be drawn at random soon afterwards. I usually offer to post my giveaways worldwide, however, this is quite a heavy book so I'm afraid that on this occasion, this is a UK only giveaway as the cost to post abroad would be huge.
ooh Id love to win.......looks like a good book.
ReplyDeleteIt does. I like how it takes you one step at a time so things are more easy to grasp.
DeletePlease enter me into your give away, I am a sewer, but not great enough to know I can't learn more.
ReplyDeleteI think that's the same with anything, there's always something new to learn.
DeleteHi Jo
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway and I would like to be included please. Thank you.
I've popped your name in the hat.
DeleteThat's very generous of you. Needless to say please don't enter my name in the draw. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteYou mean you don't want to learn to sew? There's lots of men in The Sewing Bee this series.
DeletePlease put me into the draw xxx
ReplyDeleteYou're name is in the hat.
DeleteI would absolutely love to be the owner of a copy of this book. I put it on my Birthday wishlist after reading your last post. Thank you. xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks to be a good book, especially for a beginner like me.
DeleteOooh A sewing book, I spend a big chunk of my time sewing or reading. I think that you are never too old to learn, this is a lovely giveaway. I would cross my fingers but that would make things just a tad awkward.
ReplyDeleteHa ha. Learning new things is one of life's great joys.
DeleteI would love to be in this Jo if I may as it sounds like an ideal book to teach me more. Thank you for being so generous! xx
ReplyDeleteI like how it starts with the very basics and works up to a pattern for something which looks very complicated to the beginner. I'm sure that most people could get something out of this book.
DeleteHow generous you are Jo. I won't enter this one though, as I won the last giveaway! Poor Miss M's little sewing machine has gone completely kaput, sadly. But a new one is on its way very soon - a pink one!!
ReplyDeleteI've popped your name in the hat. I've done so many giveaways over the years that lots of people have won one, it's just luck if you win again. What a shame about Miss M's sewing machine, especially as she was enjoying using it so much, but a new pink one will be the bees knees.
DeleteThat's very kind, thank you. By the way, the pink sewing machine has just this minute arrived!! I will put a picture of it in my next post :-)
DeleteI'm sure Miss M will be very excited when she gets in from school, she'll be very busy tonight. Looking forward to seeing it in your next post.
DeleteI'd love to win the book, thanks. My sewing skills leave a lot to be desired.
ReplyDeleteYou're a step ahead of me as my sewing skills are nonexistent.
DeleteOoo lovely! Yes please. Loving my sewing course but you can never have too many books for when the teacher is not there!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can beat having someone to show you what to do, but a book is a close second.
DeletePlease enter me, my sewing skills are very lacking unfortunately xx
ReplyDeleteYours and mine both. I'm hoping this book can help me.
DeleteWhat a very generous thing to do, but don't put me in the draw as I think I've enough books to sink a ship. I think that is the one I just bought my granddaughter, as I'm not near enough to help her with anything. Take care.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a good book for a beginner or someone wanting to learn a bit more. I hope it can show me a thing or two.
Deletethat's fab of you to do this, it looks just like the type of book I need right now !
ReplyDeleteMe too, I need all the help I can get.
DeleteI have recently returned to sewing and I'm a bit rusty on all the techniques of sewing, so this would help alot!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this book would be great for that purpose. I've popped your name in the hat.
Deletewonderful, i'd love to win for my mum who absolutely loves sewing x
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. I shall add your name to the hat.
DeleteAs I've just pulled out my machine from the cupboard under the stairs, I'd love to be in the hat, need all the help I can get!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but the giveaway ended at twelve noon today. I haven't yet announced the winner but a name has already been pulled fromt he hat. Hope you manage to find your way around the machine.
