At CRAFT, we have been seeing neat projects posted online from patterns in Make Workshop founder Diana Rupp’s Sew Everything Workshop since it came out. I got the book a few weeks ago and I am really enjoying reading it. The introductory chapters are more comprehensive than any other beginning sewing book that I have seen. The “Gearing Up” chapter provides background information instead of just a list of supplies so those new to sewing know why they are buying what. There’s also a bullet list of features to look for in a sewing machine like all-metal parts and a drop-in bobbin. Diana also includes personal anecdotes about why she sews and her family sewing history. I really like the picture of her mother’s homemade prom dress. I was planning on giving the book to my sister, since she just started sewing, but instead we are both going to have a copy and have a “Knockout Knickers” sew-along.
