I brought this book for a present for a friend who had just brought her self a sewing machine as she wanted to start sewing again and just knew slight basic skill’s. It was gratefully recived and she has used it to learn certain skills for sewing and has been able to take her own trousers etc up! which has freeded me from doing them!!! I did ask her if she has found it helpfull and she has said yes! This product was delivered in the time frame given and in good condition.
