I purchased this book over Thanksgiving and just now got around to reading it. WOW! I wish I had done it sooner! I agree with all of the previous comments. This book is a quick read with much to offer the new crafter in the way of marketing and getting organized.

Taking advantage of the internet is a must for anyone in business these days and Craft Inc. has some wonderful gems to offer in that regard which I am putting to use as I write this. The information is laid out in a non-intimidating way that lets you decide which methods are going to be best for you.

I am inspired by the interviews with successful crafters of various mediums and how they got their start!

If you are thinking about taking your hobby to the next level, this is a good place to begin your journey and you will not be sorry you purchased this book.

Sew Fast Sew Easy: All You Need to Know When You Start to Sew

Amazon Price: $12.60 (as of 06/01/2012)Buy Now

My mom recently bought me a sewing machine as a gift, and I had no clue how to use it. I leafed through a lot of sewing books trying to decide which one to buy; most of them were much thicker than this one, and filled with advanced techniques that I wasn't ready for. This book actually takes you through the process of threading the machine, explains basics about fabric, tools, taking body measurements and gives you a list of essentials to buy for your sewing kit.

The best part for me was that it's goal-oriented. SFSE comes with 3 patterns for a pillow cover, tote bag and skirt. Each project has step-by-step directions and great diagrams. The projects get more difficult as you go, so you learn more and more with each project.

If you want a sewing book that will actually teach you how to sew (vs. a reference manual) this is the one. This would also make a great gift--the book design is really cute!

Hobby Kits are Great for Learning New Hobbies

Numerous different hobbies feature kits that could aid a novice to learn about the hobby promptly and easily. It is not easy to teach yourself numerous hobbies, but with a hobby kit, you are able to learn from the kit.

For example, if you have been desiring to pick up how to do a needlework, such as cross stitch or crewel embroidery, there is no more beneficial way to start than with a kit. In a hobby kit, you'll get a bit of fabric with the pattern already stamped on, yarn or floss in the right colors and perhaps already cut to the right lengths, and a needle. You could even get an embroidery hoop in the kit. When you purchase a hobby kit, be certain to read on the box to determine if any additional materials or tools will be called for to do the hobby.
