Title: Complete Idiot's Guide to Sewing by Lydia Wills, Margo Martin ISBN: 0-02-863891-3 Publisher: Alpha Books Pub. Date: 11 April, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3 (6 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Great for Beginners
Comment: Very thorough book for those of us who know absolutely nothing about sewing. The style is the traditional lighthearted Idiot's Guide format, making it a fun and easy, yet very informative, read.
Rating: 1
Summary: Good beginner's book
Comment: Don't be put off by the negative comments in other reviews. This book is totally in keeping with the Idiots book format, which is what total neophytes like myself need. Having read many idiots books in the computer field, I found it to be very consistent with the way they are written. I've never bought an Idiots book I was disappointed in. This book is perfect for giving you the overview of sewing that you need to be able to ask intelligent questions and decide for yourself what steps to take next and how to educate yourself further for those steps.
Thank you Lydia.

Summary: Very disappointed with both style and substance
Comment: This book is lousy! I am a brand new sewer, and I find the endless puns and jokes totally distracting and a huge interference with getting at the meat of the book. A few puns here and there would be fine, but the author spends WAY too much time being cute and clever, and it takes her forever to get to the point. Furthermore, the explanations (once you finally get to them) are not at all clear or helpful, at least not to this beginner. The diagrams are confusing, and the instructions on how to do various things are unclear.
I have had this book for several months and have gotten NOTHING out of it. In fact, I am planning to bring it back to the bookstore where I got it to see if they will let me trade it for something else.
