Welcome to the wide and wonderful world of sewing! You have your sewing machine at the ready—now what? For those DIYers who are ready to dive into garment and textile craft creation, Stitches and Seams teaches you essential skills that every beginner needs to know. Author and acclaimed sewing teacher Valeria Carrandi Macias walks new sewists through everything they need to get started with sewing projects, from necessary tools and gear to essential skills, like inserting a zipper, making straight stitches and clean corners, and how to use patterns. Valeria also offers indispensable information about the vast sewing vocabulary, fabric selection, and making measurements for fitting.

Stitches and Seams is the book you'll need not only to immerse yourself in the nuts and bolts of sewing, but also to get you going on your machine with helpful preparation exercises, practical tips, and detailed instructions for five unisex sewing projects that put your new knowledge into action.
