It was so nice holding my lovely PDF/Ebook titled "Hand-Sewing Stitch Guide".
Reading through with beautiful illustrations sprinkled here and there and the lovely words of guidance--all made with love. Handmade with care. The ideas and possibilities of creating something completely by hand and the sweet positive feelings within. Thank you so much for caring and creating about the world we live in.
A very helpful handbook for any beginner. I would definitely recommend it.
What is written up in this pamphlet is fine but this is lacking in content. So few stitches are illustrated for the price. I was expecting many more stitches that are used daily and often. So I am disappointed and had I known that so few stitches were presented, I would have forgone the transaction.
Hi Louise!
I am sad to hear you were not satisfied with the hand-sewing e-book. ALL stitches in this guide have illustrations in the same format as the sample page in the photos. If yours did not, please let me know via email.
The stitches are mentioned in the product description with the exception of French seams and 3 different felling stitches. As the description mentions this is a 'basic' guide for beginners for common hand-sewing use, I am unsure of what your expectations were.
I appreciate your feedback and thank you for your honest opinion! I sincerely hope you find a guide that better fits your needs.

I’m becoming converted, and working through your stitch guide - Thanks. I suggest more information about hems, I use the Seamwork guide - https://blog.seamwork.com/tutorials/5-ways-to-hand-stitch-a-hems/
This guide is essential for those looking to start hand sewing. It has been so helpful to me as I work on creating a me-made wardrobe. Thanks to this guide (and the Fibr & Cloth mending kit!) I can confidently sit and stitch instead of faffing about on my phone when I'm waiting - important to me as I try to slow down and live more mindfully. Mending clothes has become a fun task rather than a drag!
