I started sewing a few years ago by taking 6 months of classes at a local sewing store. There, I learned the basics on how to operate a sewing machine, how to read a pattern, and ended up creating a few pairs of PJ pants, a couple of ill-fitting shirts and one tote bag that I use often. I quit my sewing machine for a while, mostly because I am just not a fan of deciphering patterns to only have a questionable article of clothing to show for it in the end. Not so long ago, I got back into sewing when I got this fantastic book via ILL! As the title denotes, all you really need to be able to do is sew in a straight line (much harder than it sounds!) to create any of the over 20 featured projects. Personally, I’ve made the “Easy Breezy Blouse” which turned out to be not that easy, but is definitely breezy, the “World’s Easiest Zippered Throw Pillow” which actually lives up to its moniker, the “Make It Your Way Ottoman Cover,” which superbly covers an iron burn on my ottoman, and the “On-the-Go Jewelry Keeper,” which is begging me to take it on a trip. This book is available through SWAN.
