Love at First Stitch: Demystifying Dressmaking (bestselling sewing book, learn to sew, sewing for beginners)

Product Information

I know this book has been out for a while, and there are quite a lot of reviews, but it's always new to someone.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Welcome to Sewing and Other Stories; my journeys with sewing and knitting; pattern reviews, tips and guides for beginners. Regular readers will be familiar with my reviews of online classes, but as my sewing library expands I realise how handy it would have been to have a little more detail to hand before I bought some of my books. I'm also the designer behind West Beach Knits knitting patterns and I host a Knitting and Sewing channel on YouTube where you can see all of this in person.Written for novice stitchers by the author of the popular sewing blog Tilly and the Buttons , this book presents the sewing basics in an informal style, with Tilly's friendly and encouraging voice cheering the reader on throughout.

If you are brand new to sewing or want a handy reference book for your essential techniques, then 'Love at First Stitch' by Tilly Walnes is a great place to start. At this moment I cannot take in-person lessons, and need to resort to youtube, blogs and books to figure things out.

Since the best way to learn is to get stuck in, Love at First Stitch starts you sewing straight away.

Love at First Stitch is also available in Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, North American English, Norwegian and Swedish. As you go through the patterns you will find that each one also has ideas on how you can 'make it your own', customising or experimenting with adaptations and different variations. Her first book, Love at First Stitch, was a Sunday Times bestseller, published in ten international editions. What it does not teach you are skills for working with knit or stretchy fabrics, and advanced garment specific techniques.They also help us to enforce our Terms of Use, prevent fraud and maintain the security of our services. Love at First Stitch' will take any beginner who wants to learn to sew their own clothes on a skill building and jargon busting journey. You will then be prompted to enter a password which can be found on the back of your printed copy of the book. If you have no experience at all with your machine you might need a bit more information than anyone could get into a book - machines vary enormously so check out the machine manual or look it up in YouTube.
