Sewing, From Start to Finish

Having just inherited my first sewing machine, I'm antsy to get stitching -- the only problem is that I haven't a clue what I'm doing.  The Colette Sewing Handbook by Sarai Mitnick breaks down the basics in a fun, informative way.  From choosing the right fabric to demystifying the fitting process, Mitnick provides concise instructions and guidance, as well as some classic silhouettes from her Colette Patterns, her own line of sewing patterns.  I can't wait to get started!  HM
