I have been sewing since I was a teen and I wish I had this book as a resource then. Sew with Sara is one of the most refreshing beginner sewing books I have read in a long time. Not only does Sara shares how to sew and tips for beginners, she shares a few journal entries about her adventures in sewing. This book has some cute projects to make that will help a novice learn valuable techniques. Sara also gives advice on making items to sell. She encourages the young entrepreneur with a few business-savvy tips on how to make money by sewing for others. She gives suggestions on what types of things to make and sell as well as where to sell them. Sara is definitely on her way to being big in the sewing world! I recommend this book for any beginner.
