Follow in the footsteps of a real group of beginner sewists who came together with author Shea Henderson to have her teach them one thing: how to use their sewing machines. The result of their journey is School of Sewing, an award-winning learn-to-sew bible covering everything from the anatomy of a sewing machine, fabrics, and essential tools to basic sewing techniques geared to the first timer. Benefit from authentic advice from Shea Henderson's 12 students as they learn all about sewing machine feet, interfacings and stabilizers, threads, different fabrics, and even zippers. Designed to progress over one year, there are 12 projects (one a month) advancing complete beginners one step at a time by building on the skills learned from the prior project. Feeling ambitious? Each project also includes "extra credit" which uses the techniques from a project but are just a tiny bit more technical. The best part is that each of these lessons results in a finished project you actually want to use! Packed with hundreds of detailed how-to photographs, this book removes the mystery around your sewing machine, taking readers on an engaging, detailed, comprehensive sewing adventure, from a simple pillow case to zipper pouches and bags to finishing with a full-size quilt. Whether sewing in a group as Henderson's students did or learning to sew in your own space, this is the only guide to sewing you will need. Includes step-by-step photographs

Shea Henderson is owner of the pattern company Empty Bobbin Sewing Studio. She is a former middle school math teacher turned sewing pattern designer--two careers that are, surprisingly, not so different from each other! Her work has been published in Modern Quilts Unlimited and Quilts & More magazines, and she is a contributor to the book Modern Baby. Henderson is one of the founding members and former president of the Kansas City Modern Quilt Guild. When not designing, Henderson can be found teaching a group of friends and neighbors the craft of sewing. She lives in Kansas City, Missouri, with her husband and three young children.
