Sew Easy: The Essential Guide for Getting Started
This is the single kit that first-time sewers must have, the brainchild of professional designer, author, and TV personality Linda Lee. It's convenient, well-organized, and a welcome gift for anyone.
It's unlike anything else on the an attractive and compact magnetized case that holds a 64-page booklet brimming with illustrations, diagrams, and techniques in one sleeve, while another contains single project cards to pull out and work on. That's why Sew Easy makes sewing...so easy! From the tools to use to the terms to know, from measuring and marking to pressing the fabric, from sewing a basic seam to embellishing with appliqué, it not only teaches sewing skills but helps newcomers to think creatively. Each of the simple, fabulous, and whimsically illustrated projects introduces a new technique to practice; make it first according to directions, then do it again your way. Change the size, make up your own detail, choose some outrageous fabric, or decorate it with a personalized touch. Soon, you'll be stitching like a professional!

This is about the best beginning sewing book I've seen out lately. There is a booklet with all the information you need to get started, and the projects are presented on cards. Each card has a picture of the finished project on the front with all the how-to information inside. Cute projects. I'm planning to make several!

This is such a fun kit! I love the card patterns and presentation. I have done a couple of the projects and they turned out great and were so much fun to do.
