I think you are expecting too much from one book. The Sewing School books are highly rated. Your niece should start out with simple projects and have adult supervision.

thank you much. this is super helpful.
I bought this book which I am going to start using for projects http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1603425780/
the book you recommend looks great too.
Will you recommend buying a sewing machine right away or practicing hand stitching first before upgrading to a machine?
I love this book. I saw it in a bookstore and turned every page. It's probably too complex for right now, but it could serve as an inspiration or provide projects you could work on with him.

These books look interesting.

If he ever wants to do clothes, look at the Oliver + S site.
I'm glad it's helpful. Here's another way to access the Hapgood book:

Here's the lesson on how to sew on a button. But any good sewing reference should have similar information:

There's a more sophisticated book on hand sewing for tailors. It's good, but it's basically a pamphlet, and as such, is rather expensive. You may be able to borrow it from a library.

I looked on Amazon and here are some books that emphasize hand sewing:

Here's another book. It's for kids, but I'll bet some of the projects could be adapted for adults:

This book, Sewing School, has always looked good to me. It focuses on hand sewing. Sewing School 2 teaches machine work.
