\"Sewing

My name is Samantha (Sammy for short).\u00a0 I\u2019m 16 and live with my parents and my older brother who is 19.<\/p>\n

For Christmas, my mom gave me this audiobook as a way of introducing me to the world of hand and machine sewing. \u00a0She\u2019s been sewing all her life and really likes it.\u00a0 I\u2019m still deciding, but this book gave me a good idea what it\u2019s all about.<\/p>\n

The book is an audiobook, so you have to download it and listen to it on your phone or iPod.\u00a0 If you want to listen to it, you can get if for free along with another audiobook just for trialing Audible, which is Amazon\u2019s audio bookstore.\u00a0 They have a pretty good trial program where you can get two books for free and cancel anytime if you don't like the product.<\/p>\n

This book has been the perfect introduction to sewing and has given me a lot to do over the school break. \u00a0Firstly, I would like to say that this book has greatly interested me in sewing, and has shown me how easy it can be to start off.\u00a0 I was really worried about how difficult it might be to learn all the things my mom already knows how to do, but this book helped make it a lot simpler and less intimidating.<\/p>\n

The book starts off by introducing what sewing is and the general history of the practice. \u00a0It moves on to discuss the value of hand sewing and machine sewing, and what each is used for.<\/p>\n

I was really surprised to learn that hand sewing is still practiced and valued across the world.\u00a0 This book focuses on hand sewing as it is the most basic and versatile form of sewing. \u00a0It\u2019s also the place most beginners like me start learning to sew.\u00a0 By being able to hand sew, it is much easier to expand your skills to include machine sewing and other forms of textile work.<\/p>\n

In the first 10 minutes of the book, it goes over the history of sewing and the essential materials needed to start. You are provided a detailed guide on:<\/p>\n
