Books

These are a few of the books I used to get started.

May Martins Sewing Bible This one is new out this year, but I have a copy and it's really good.

The Great British Sewing Bee

The Great British Sewing Bee: Sew Your Own Wardrobe

The Sewing Book

The Sewing Book Not sure but I think this is an updated version of the above book.

Sew: Step by Step

Dressmaking: Step by Step

I actually borrowed most of these from the library, but I did find them all incredibly helpful.

I'm not sure where OP is based so I have used amazon.com rather than co.uk.


Videos


I would also recommend checking out youtube for sewing tutorials as well, deoending what you are interested in sewing the following Channels are quite good for basic skills and techniques:

All Free Sewing

Easy Sewing For Begginners

Missouri Star Quilt Company

Projects

The normal beginner projects tend to be along the lines of

  • Pillow Case
  • Cushion Covers
  • Quilted Blanket
  • Pajama Pants
  • T-shirts etc

    Hope this helps a little

I would love a crocheted critter stuffed with dried catnip :D My kitty Leela loves snuggling catnip toys, and it would be so adorable to see her snuggling a little critter! I don't really have a preference as to what animal I'd like for her--anything cute would be great :) As for colors, I prefer darker colors--sphynxes sometimes get oily brown stains on stuff they cuddle, so just to be safe I like dark colored things.

I think Leela counts for a funny picture :P But here's me and my best friend too!

u/ilovepaperdolls · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Happy birthday Marzipan!

It's tough to pick a favorite birthday but the first one that comes to mind is when I turned 6! I was obsessed with the little mermaid so my grandma decorated the whole house in little mermaid decorations and bought me a mermaid outfit to wear all day. I still remember everything lol! That was a LONG TIME AGO though :)

Happy Birthday

A coloring book I want

Have a wonderful, wonderful birthday!

u/amaltheas2 · 2 pointsr/crochet

My grandma taught me to do a sc, but I taught myself the rest from books and youtube videos. Two of my favorite books for learning was Debbie Stroller's The Happy Hooker & Get Hooked. The latter book is directed towards a younger audience, but it was perfect for learning ... everything was simplified! Basic patterns like "working in the round" or a basic Double-Crochet scarf; both have wonderful illustrations & great 'beginner' patterns.

Others suggested that you learn from others ... but that's so overrated! ;-) To this day, I don't know anyone else who crochets ... so it's all me!

u/liamquips · 1 pointr/crochet

These are pretty simple. Part of how long it will take you to make them is if you're able to find a pattern for exactly that.

Amigurumi are made by crocheting in the round using mainly single crochet stitches (very basic stitch). I started learning how to crochet by doing ami, and my first few were really terrible as I figured out how to crochet correctly. It also took a super long time.

So if you're willing to spend some time working on it, I'd say a few weeks to a few months (depending on how much time you spend on it and how quickly you pick new skills up). There are loads of videos on youtube for crocheting help that make it really easy. I'd recommend finding a pattern that is for beginners and trying to make it, looking up stitches and abbreviations that you don't know.

When I learned I used this book: http://www.amazon.com/Crochet-Critters-Leisure-Vannas-Choice/dp/1601404956/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344645656&sr=8-1&keywords=lion+brand+amigurumi which I found at a local craft store. It's nice cause the projects are small (and therefore quicker to finish) and they have a basic how-to in the back. Another nice thing is that since it's published by a major yarn company, it's easy to find the yarn and hooks you need to make your ami turn out just like the ones in the book.

u/ClearlyClaire · 23 pointsr/femalefashionadvice

So I had a gorgeous set of Victorian paper fashion dolls as a child, and I swear to God it included exact copies of many of the dresses in the 1870's and 80's on this chart. I have no idea what happened to it but I used to love putting them in different dresses and imagining their personalities and the balls that they were going to and stuff. So thanks for the nostalgia hit!

Edit: OMG I found them, I can't believe they're still for sale! https://www.amazon.com/Victorian-Fashion-Paper-Harpers-1867-1898/dp/0486234533

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Thanks for the contest! This book looks like a lot of fun and would keep me busy for a while :)

u/CorpseHeiress · 2 pointsr/crochet

I’ve really learned that what is called “easy” and “beginner” can feel like a mountain at the very beginning. It’s subjective. The very first amigurumi I did came from this book and once you know how to start a round I found most of them very manageable. Good luck!! 10 Amigurumi Dolls

u/MoonshineBuster · 2 pointsr/Brochet

I got the pattern out of a book called Easy Crochet Critters

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1601404956/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_0YF.ub0QTT9G6

I picked it up at Michaels for $7. I've enjoyed it because the patterns are quick. Makes them fast easy baby gifts.

Hey dudes I had these too! Picture of Dorian Gray and the Hunchback of Notre Dame. "Great Illustrated Classics!"

heres the series

u/MsThreepwood · 1 pointr/knitting

I bought this book recently and it has a lot of really cute things in it. It has knitting and crochet patterns, but many of the crochet ones look like they wouldn't be too hard to convert over.

This is your only option. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

The listing on Amazon are the only pictures i've found.

u/TheUgliestCasanova · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

Maybe This? I used to see these books everywhere when I was a kid, also in the 90's

u/Refhgarad · 2 pointsr/crochet

I don't think so. Mine always get a bit ripply and I follow the pattern exactly too! The pattern is from this book and in the picture it also looks a bit rippled too :/
