I am pretty new to sewing (started last November), so this would be a great book for me. Although actually sewing a truly straight line is still challenging :)
Being a full time college student, this book seems like a fun and quick way to unwind from all my school work.

user: NSJ aka as Grandma Sue. The book looks like one I would use for myself and to begin teaching my 6 yr old granddaughter to sew. (I was six when I began sewing with my mother and grandmother.) The book would probably help continue that tradition. I will consider purchasing it if I don't receive one.
Just about all I can sew is a straight line. I'd love to win this book and see what I can do.

This book sounds fabulous and would make the perfect gift for my Granddaughter-in-law who is taking sewing lessons. Finally someone in the family who wants to learn to enjoy sewing as much as I do.
