Today I received my book and I'm pretty disappointed. For the first format; I expected more, it is still small enough (not great for readability). Then it makes me not want to sew. The style is too austere, cold, boring. I know, this is a book for learning the basics of sewing and not a comic Comics, but good. Last thing, I thought there would be at least some examples to make a skirt, a dress, a top or a basic pants but that's not the case. I think my next purchase will be "sewing for dummies".
