Each new technique is taught via the creation of an actual project, such as a pillow, window treatment, t-shirt, or baby blanket, thereby allowing you to learn a new skill and create an item to wear, display or use in your home.

Sewing 101 is compact, not quite encyclopedic, but rather a cute beginner's guide. The accompanying disc (DVD) is a bonus, and the price is nice, about 12.00 USD. The book is spiral bound, so it lays perfectly flat. There are a lot of good photographs, which are very helpful. A good guide for a beginning sewer.
