New to sewing... or know someone who is?
A little book just hit the shelves that is perfect for you or the beginning sewist(s) in your lift. thread & bobbin: 21 simple sewing projects ($18, All American Crafts) is written by Janome America's own Alison Newman and her good friend and textile expert, Kaitlin Witte.
There are a variety of projects from quilts to aprons, purses to baby blocks. All have detailed, step-by-step instructions and illustrations. There's also a handy glossary of terms.
