Sew With Confidence by Nancy Zieman was an Excellent Confidence Building Read, filled with tips, and insights that encourage learning, and enhance sewing knowledge!

This book is great for beginner basics!

[Kathy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn to sew, and to experienced sewers who would like to refresh their skills or even pick up a new technique or two. All aspects of home sewing are covered from choosing equipment, fabric and pattern to finishing garments and home decorating projects you can be proud of.
