I found a new book that looks like it might be perfect for those just wanting to learn to sew. It was advertised in the (ahem) sew whats new section of Sew News. It is called Teach Yourself Visually Sewing. Everything is done in pictures and there are 2 page lessons to help show the steps. Written by Debbie Colgrove of About.com I have the Teach Yourself visually Computer book that helped me a lot so I hope this one is just as good. It is available at Amazon and Chapters. MaryW

That sounds like exactly what I need for my youngest daughter who lives 1700km away and is trying so hard to teach herself how to sew. Do you know how hard it is to try and explain sewing something over the phone?????

Probably as hard as or harder than trying to explain it on a message board.  Sometimes when trying to help on here I think if only I could show you.

Wow that seems like a really hands on, step by step book, I checked it out on Amazon and they were able to show a couple of the pages. I think this might be a future purchase  Thanks
